Thoreau

Against the then-popular condemnation of the radical abolitionist who seized a federal armory, attempting to arm slaves and create a violent rebelion against the South, Thoreau delivered this spirited speech justifying Brown's character and actions to those who would have rather resolved (or failed to resolve) the issue of slavery using discussions and diplomacy.

Cory Doctorow DRM Talk

On June 17, 2004, science fiction author and EFF spokesman Cory Doctorow talked to Microsoft Research Group and other interested parties about Digital Rights Management (DRM), copyright, and the technology that cleaves them together and apart. In five parts, Doctorow covers everything from DVD region coding and the player piano to the Apple iTunes Music Store and why Sony didn't create the digital successor to its once-ubiquitous Walkman. Everything you ever wanted to know about DRM, but were afraid to tell Microsoft.

20% of all revenues from the sale of this recording will be donated to the Cory Doctorow's charity of choice, which--to nobody's surprise--is the Electronic Frontier Frontier Foundation. This is in addition to the 1% of all Telltale Weekly revenues donates to the EFF. See the Mission page for details.
