Video interlude: The Pirate’s Dilemma

by Mathew on June 27, 2008 · View Comments

Matt Mason, author of the book The Pirate’s Dilemma — which takes a look at how what has been called “piracy” throughout history has actually created new technologies and new industries — has put together a video that goes through some of the themes in the book, with the help of a couple of staffers from Current.tv and the executive producer of the TV show Heroes. We were planning to have Matt as a keynote at mesh 2008 in May, but he ran into visa problems and couldn’t make it. We’re still hoping to be able to get him up here to talk about his book.

    Haven't watched the video yet, but this sounds similar, at least in spirit, to “Steal this film pt 2″ http://www.stealthisfilm.com/Part2/ which tries to draw the comparison between piracy and historical revolutions sparked by the freeing up of information.

    I'll definitely watch this one when I get a change.
