At TechSummit 2005

I just gave the keynote address during lunch at TechSummit 2005 in Dana Point, Calif., the annual convention of the Computer & Communications Industry Association and Open Source & Industry Alliance.

Lawrence Lessig is speaking tonight about the Grokster decision's impact on technology innovation. Here's the conference agenda (PDF). My talk centered on fair use in the digital age, including mash-ups and freedom of creative expression.

Most of the folks here are executives at tech companies, and I entreated them to become informed about these issues (see this blog, for instance) and to serve as a proxy for the public interest on Capitol Hill.

Wednesday evening I'll be appearing on stage with Doc Searls at UC Santa Barbara to talk about citizens media.
