Video of Copyright Unbalanced event now available

Last week, Jim Harper was kind enough to host a book forum at the Cato Institute for Copyright Unbalanced: From Incentive to Excess. Video of the event is now available online.

I presented the case for why conservatives and libertarians should be skeptical of our current copyright system, and Tom Bell, a contributor to the book, made the case for reform. Mitch Glazier of the RIAA, a former Republican senior staffer on the House Judiciary Committee, served as respondent and engaged us in some lively debate.

I hope you will check out the video and that it might compel you to pick up a copy of the book, which also includes excellent essays from Reihan Salam, Patrick Ruffini, David Post, Tim Lee, Christina Mulligan, and Eli Dourado.

Also, this Thursday at 3 p.m. on the Hill, TechFreedom will host a panel discussion on free market thinking on copyright featuring yours truly, Geoff Manne, Larry Downes, Ryan Radia, and Adam Mossoff.
