I spoke on a panel after a screening of the film, Copyright Criminals, at the Aero Theater last night. Earlier in the panel I had touched upon the difficulty of determining and locating copyright holders, and my belief that current attribution information tied to digital material (as well as a national registry) might ease that monetizing process. During the question segment of the program a gentleman expressed his lack of faith in digital voting systems. While not necessarily germane to the conversation, it did strike me that digital information leaves many in the public, without the tools needed to judge context or veracity, very distrustful. The speed and openness of information in the digital age seems an unquestionable gift to the growth of human culture, however, given the cynicism of our social institutions, perhaps we should be more mindful of Lawrence Lessig's caution and plea for a systematic understanding and approach for change.
