Here’s more<\/a> from John Perry Barlow<\/a>, talking at ilaw in Rio<\/a>:<\/p>\n

It’s time to re-envision how we should get paid for the works of our minds. I believe that Brazil has a unique opportunity to help us all re-imagine this. I’ve observed that Brazilians have a strong sense that music is shared property… It is the joint property of Brazilian society. So I propose that this is a good place to take a stand against the corporate copyright holders.<\/p>\n

…Giving music away does work… I have suggested to Minister [Gilberto] Gil that Brazilian music be put on the Internet; this would create a worldwide flowering of creatvity inspired by this music.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And earlier, talking about the Digital Divide<\/a>:<\/p>\n

Brazil is the greatest inside joke that I’ve ever seen. This creates a kind of digital divide between Brazil and the rest of the world. This is a unique problem that has to be addressed.<\/p>\n

I used to think that the use of English on the Internet was no big deal; after my experiences here, especially, I’ve changed my mind. I spent a month here feeling like a stroke victim. It’s a good thing that many of you are very good at communicating with body language.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

An interchange with Charles Nesson<\/a> and an audience member:<\/p>\n

Charlie: Audience–why isn’t deregulating telecom more important to this audience than other things on the list?<\/p>\n

Audience: It’s funny when we talk about IP and protection–the fight against piracy. This is the view of the company, of the US. We are a poor country; our priorities are different. It surprises me that the US is surprised that we have a problem with piracy. Of course we do: people want access to the software; they simply cannot buy it.<\/p>\n

The discussion of this piracy is therefore empty, useless.<\/p>\n

Curiously enough, the cost of participating in the next ILAW at Stanford makes it so no one from Brazil will come.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I’m following Donna Wentworth’s reports from the conference, at Copyfight<\/a>, with great interest. Let’s hope that full transcripts will be available later.<\/p>\n
