February 4, 2010, Washington, DC: Richard Baraniuk and I were proponents of the resolution "US Copyright Law excessively restrains the development of Intellectual Property" in an Oxford-style debate in front of the Association of American Publishers. This is my opening in the debate. The debate began with a poll. 53% (or so) opposed the proposition. 18% supported it. After the debate, 51% supported the proposition, and 41% opposed it. Big shift which we certainly didn't expect.

As described in volume 1, all in this series will make the same point: Whether you believe the story we show is evidence that the Member sold out or not, you cannot deny that the story we show is the sort that destroys public trust in Congress. We will make trust possible again only when we make it impossible to believe "money buys results."

A critical punchline in this preso failed -- I wanted to link the kind of political action depicted in the film Gandhi with RT (as in re-tweeting), but Twitter isn't as popular in Italy as I had thought.
