Audio, slides from Jason Schultz's USC talk on Internet Freedom


USC's Annenberg Center for Public Diplomacy is hosting audio from last week's speech by Jason Schultz, the EFF lawyer who runs the patent-busting project. Jason gave a great talk on Internet Freedom (his slides are online, too) — the ways in which we've benefitted from an open Internet, and the ways that openness is threatened on all fronts, by legislators, greed, and censors. Regular Boing Boing readers will recognize Jason's name from the frequent contributions he makes here on matters of law — his talk was tremendous.

You can subscribe to a podcast of all the USC Public Diplomacy talks that I'm hosting here — upcoming speakers include Toshiba's Michael Ayers, EFF's Fred von Lohmann and Seth Schoen, Wendy Seltzer of ChillingEffects, Revver's Steven Starr, Xbox hacker Bunnie Huang, Bruce Sterling, Bruce Schneier, Jamie Love from the Consumer Project on Technology, and the grand finale, a triple-header from EFF founders John Gilmore, John Perry Barlow, and Mitch Kapor!
