Transcript of Eben Moglen's Harvard Speech 357
An anonymous reader writes "Groklaw has a transcript of Eben Moglen's Harvard Speech + Q&A up. Good Stuff. During the Q&A he made a good point to think about: 'We stand for free speech. We're the free speech movement of the moment. And that we have to insist upon, all the time, uncompromisingly. My dear friend, Mr. Stallman, has caused a certain amount of resistance in life by going around saying, "It's free software, it's not open source". He has a reason. This is the reason. We need to keep reminding people that what's at stake here is free speech. We need to keep reminding people that what we're doing is trying to keep the freedom of ideas in the 21st century, in a world where there are guys with little paste-it labels with price tags on it who would stick it on every idea on earth if it would make value for the shareholders. And what we have to do is to continue to reinforce the recognition that free speech in a technological society means technological free speech. I think we can do that. I think that's a deliverable message.'"

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!
A mushroom cloud rises out of the room, and both Darl and him are vaporised.
The Slashdot crowd are puzzled at how to feel.

I was thinking maybe Darl would be completely gone and Eben would look fresh and exfoliated: one less wrinkle. The two may be polar opposites, but one certainly has more substance.
