Some folks understand technology....

I'd like to pass along a link to a video of Cory Doctorow's recent speech at Cambridge. It is a very insightful talk about copyright, why DRM is doomed to failure, piracy and much more. If you crave an understanding of the value of an unrestricted internet or how the internet has transformed our society, you need to watch this very intelligent person's presentation. If the video at the link is slow, try this link. Personally, I just downloaded the video for later viewing from Google Video.

[update] Now there's a transcript of the speech in case you needed to take it in at your own speed (Cory is a fast talker).
