Wish I could attend your talk, Matt.
I thought of you when I read this quote: "The deeper we get into the digital age, the more we will be defined not by our relationships with physical objects but with the data that we have accumulated in our journeys through life. If we lose the right to own that data and do what we want with it, if the power of the computer, and the Net, is taken from us, we're at risk of losing a lot more than a few files -- we stand at risk of losing the evidence that tells us who we are."

We've been following the grokster case pretty closely, Kari especially. Even thought about trying to get in to the Court to hear the arguments, before realizing it would mean camping out--people came from all over apparently.
What I've read of the justice's questions during the arguments leads me to be somewhat optimistic. But one can never tell.
