Stross, Scalzi and Buckell on International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day

Two comments: it would have been better had they found a lucid pro-DRMer or two to take part and for the most part the comments from the audience are inaudible. Otherwise, interesting walk down memory lane for an era now lost to fading memory.

A special episode of the Time Traveler Show. Recorded on International Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Day Eve at Penguicon in Michigan (4-22-07). This panel discussion about Creative Commons and Internet Marketing broached the subject of giving your stuff away with three SF author "web scabs". Charles Stross, John Scalzi, and Tobias Buckell explain why they give away so much of their work. They even play devil's advocate explaining some arguments against putting your works out there for free.
Charlie Stross even wore his Pixel-Stained Technopeasant Wretch shirt!
