Two Live Debates, One Old Link

Larry Lessig's conference on Open Spectrum in Stanford, CA, March 1-2, will feature a moot court case arguing the issues in front of Michael Powell, Chair of the FCC. There will be a live feed.

I wish I could go to the live event. It sounds fantastic.

You can watch a debate over the "broadcast flag" copy-protection proposal. The debate on Feb. 5 featured: Fritz Attaway, Motion Picture Association of America; Jim Burger, Dow, Lohnes & Albertson; Mike Godwin, Public Knowledge; and Andy Setos, Fox Entertainment Group. (I haven't watched it yet.)

(Note: It requires Real video. If you haven't installed Real before, be warned that it is sneakily and persistently opt-out.)

By the way, for background on Open Spectrum here's a paper and a FAQ I wrote a few weeks ago on the basis of information and ideas from Dewayne Hendricks, David Reed, and Jock Gill.
