Hi All

I made a transcript of "0WNED -- HOW HOLLYWOOD PLANS ON MAKING THE 
FUTURE SUBSERVIENT TO THE PAST", a talk on DRM Cory Doctorow gave at 
Olin College on Feb. 16 2006 (downloadable from his blog at 
<http://www.craphound.com/000622.html>. I put the transcript in an open 
(1) wiki, at <http://almansi.wikispaces.com/Doctorow+DRM+talk>, in the 
hope that some people might be interested enough in the talk to correct 
my mistakes and fill in the bits I didn't get.

Original reason for the transcript: in the context of the revision of 
the Swiss Law on author's rights, ADISI asked Cory Doctorow if we might 
excerpt his talk in one of our "Tam Tam" broadcasts (2) on information 
society issues, and if there *was* a transcript. He said yes to the 
excerpt, and No but it would be great if you could make one to the 
question about the transcript.

And as it's a great talk, in simple language, with many striking 
examples, having and making available a transcript of it seemed a good 
idea anyway.

(1) "open" wiki: you still have to sign up at wikispaces in order to 
make/edit pages in it - but from my experience there, they are as good 
as their privacy policy.

(2) Tam Tam: see http://www.adisi.ch/tamtam. It airs on 2 private radios 
in Ticino (above and below Ceneri), and the broadcasts can be listened 
to/downloaded online. We also have a podcast,

Best,
