Change Congress Chronicles vol. 2: Lieberman/Bayh
Fri, Oct 30, 2009
The second in a series to make more understandable what we mean by Good Soul Corruption. As described in volume 1, all in this series will make the same point: Whether you believe the story we show is evidence that the Member sold out or not, you cannot deny that the story we show is the sort that destroys public trust in Congress. We will make trust possible again only when we make it impossible to believe "money buys results."

Change Congress Chronicles vol. 1: John Campbell
Fri, Oct 30, 2009
The beginning of a series to make more understandable what we mean by Good Soul Corruption. There will be a long series of these (at least until Congress adopts Citizen Funded Election). They're all going to make the same point: Whether you believe the story we show is evidence that the Member sold out or not, you cannot deny that the story we show is the sort that destroys public trust in Congress. We will make trust possible again only when we make it impossible to believe "money buys results."

The role of "fair use" in a time of CHANGE
Wed, Oct 07, 2009
Lecture given in Kyoto, Japan, October 4, 2009. This is a relatively new talk about copyright in a digital age, and the role (and importance) of a doctrine like "fair use." Japan is considering adding a "fair use" clause to its law. I, shamelessly, was arguing for it.

I was asked to give a keynote, and upset some of the Obama friends because I questioned whether he has yet focused on the real bankruptcy -- Congress. NOTE: In this, I stupidly refer to Captain Hazelwood Captain Henderson. Ridiculously stupid, and apologies to all that noticed.

Keynote at Mori Museum, Tokyo, Japan
Wed, May 06, 2009
May 1, 2009: I've been talking about giving my "last" free culture talk for a long time, and indeed, given renewed discipline, I have very few opportunities left. But the Mori offered me an opportunity to synthesize a great deal and the result is this (very) long piece that draws together both parts to my book, REMIX -- remix, and the hybrid -- and adds something from David Post's book as well. Except for a couple times when I had to cough (and the audience was then terrified that I was carrying the swine flu), it is just about the most complete statement I've got on that chapter in my work.

Good Soul "corruption"
Wed, Mar 11, 2009
Again and again, people misunderstand the charge of "corruption." They imagine that the only "corruption" is individual -- as if it is a crime that predicates only of someone doing something that is illegal or unethical. But that is NOT the only corruption. It is corruption as well when someone does something that tends to weaken the effectiveness of their institution. This is the kind of "corruption" that is endemic in Congress today. Here's an example I give about Hilary Clinton that makes the point. It is 4 minutes. Watch it. To understand more, watch the billion-minute blathering of any of these longer speeches.

My talk is the first version of a talk I hope to refine over time. Viewers will recognize very little (indeed, nothing save 5 slides at the end) from other presentations.
