It is a short debate between Dan Glickman of the Motion Picture Association and John Perry Barlow of the Electronic Frontier Foundation.

Very illuminating. A longer version of the debate is available from the Click website (probably only for the rest this week).

I filmed the clip on my digital camera, for two reasons. 1) It's all I had to hand to get video from my TV to my laptop. 2) More importantly, I wanted to illustrate that whatever DRM and copy protecton techniques are used in the future, that at some point the audio and video has to become analogue for human input. So like John Perry Barlow said, stop trying to get in the way of progress and instead put your resources into learning about the situation in which you find yourself.

Movies, music and software are all part of something that are completely different to any other sort of tradable goods, they are all information. Information is the only self-replicating resource we have. Normal rules don't apply.
