Thanks for linking to the video; it's an early (and slightly unpolished) version of a presentation I give pretty regularly now.

Shortly after that talk, I left Google to found QuestionCopyright.org, a non-profit devoted to research and education about the effects of copyright on the public's ability to share information and use the Internet to its fullest potential. (Nothing against Google, by the way -- they're a great company to work for, I just wanted to be doing copyright reform full-time.)

So for more information about copyright history, effects, and reform proposals, see QuestionCopyright.org.
