An interactive afternoon at Stacey's

Had a great time this afternoon at an appearance for "Darknet" at Stacey's bookstore in San Francisco. (John Battelle will be doing the same kind of lunchtime showing there on Sept. 15 for his new book "The Search.")

My friends Kevin Smokler ("Bookmark Now") and Steve Rhodes showed up, along with 25 other folks who asked some great questions about digital rights management, the next generation of DVD encryption, Hollywood business models, fair use, the DMCA, and lots of other issues related to digital rights and the intersection of technology and entertainment.

Stacey's is a class act -- one of my favorite bookstores -- and I'll be attending more of these author events.
