Eben Moglen interview videos (featured in our video compilation)

Tags:

Eben Moglen is one of the most significant role players in the Free Software movement. As a speaker he knows how to touch people while explaining even the seemingly most complex issues in a way a child could understand. Linux.com's Joe Barr did an interview with him on a recent Red Hat Summit and released a series of videos of it. You can find the last one here along with the links to the others. They are all in an ogg format.

I have included this series in our feature compilation of inspiring videos on Free Digital Culture with a few quotes. It's really worth a watch.

I will reproduce the quotes from the fifth video here too, just for a tease:

"Stallman was a giant, and I stood on his shoulders and I saw the terrain."

(...)

"Microsoft made it appear that a software was a product for a little while, but knowledge is rarely a product and the technological information about the terms on which we and the digital brains exist; that's not a product. That's a culture. That's the record of the positive human beings and the other in conversation. It's like literature, it can't be a product. So what's we are discovering is that it's a culture made by communities."
