Eric's Beijing Diary

Fascinating lecture at the Bookworm this evening with Cory Doctorow, a science fiction writer, and blogger with Boingboing.net I was interested in hearing what he had to say, because of his work with copyright issues vis-a-vis Internet publishing. Fortunately for you, there was someone there with a video camera who recorded the entire lecture and put it on Youtube. The guy who does the introduction is Jeremy Goldkorn, a South African blogger from the Danwei blog. I was most interested in how Internet publishing might affect traditional media, especially newspapers. I thought Mr. Doctorow handled this and other questions informatively. I don't know if you can spare sixty minutes right now, but don't put it off too long. This lecture is well worth your time.
