The Wealth of Networks: How U.S. Internet policies are undermin

Yochai Benkler presents a lecture entitled "The Wealth of Networks: How U.S. Internet policies are undermining both freedom and growth." The lecture was presented at the Center for American Progress on May 31, 2006 based on The Wealth of Networks How Social Production Transforms Markets and Freedom by Yochai Benkler With the radical changes in information production that the Internet has introduced, we stand at an important moment of transition, says Yochai Benkler in this thought-provoking book. The phenomenon he describes as social production is reshaping markets, while at the same time offering new opportunities to enhance individual freedom, cultural diversity, political discourse, and justice. But these results are by no means inevitable: a systematic campaign to protect the entrenched industrial information economy of the last century threatens the promise of today?s emerging networked information environment. In this comprehensive social theory of the Internet and the networked information economy, Benkler describes how patterns of information, knowledge, and cultural production are changing?and shows that the way information and knowledge are made available can either limit or enlarge the ways people can create and express themselves. He describes the range of legal and policy choices that confront us and maintains that there is much to be gained?or lost?by the decisions we make today. Yochai Benkler is professor of law at Yale Law School, Yale University. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Wealth_of_Networks http://yalepress.yale.edu/yupbooks/book.asp?isbn=0300110561

The BIN works in my player, but I've got one error report so far. Please report eventual errors so I can fix it.

The reported error was just a missunderstanding. So as far as I know there is no problem.
