iCommons 07: Best of quotes

June 17th, 2007

Summit is about to close, here some quotes:

Panel: A Cultural Environmentalist Movement and beyond:

• Cory Doctorow: “Installing Firefox is political. Installing Firefox on your parents computer is even more political.”
• Fred Benenson (freeculture.org): “Is digg a political action?”

Workshop with the starwreck guys.

They were showing their movie, talking about it as well as about new projects, and since they are Finnish everybody got plenty of vodka.

• Someone frome the audience: “How many times did you get slashdottet?”
• Stephen (starwreckstudios.com): “It is alright to pirate our movies. That’s what it is all about.”* (See comments)
• John Buckman (founder magnatune): “Life doesn’ t end if you don’t get picked up by Universal. Now, there are so many other ways to distribute your movie.”
• Samuli (starwreck, starring as the Emperor): (Pointing to the screen, where fighting was going on): “See, we have a lot of action scenes. Actually I really got badly bruised in this scene. Because we did not know how to do stunt scenes, so we really hit each other.”

Other panels:

• Heather Ford: “Listening to Jonathan Zittrain and Larry Lessig is like going to the movies.”
• Jonathan Zittrain: “Oink is bittorrent on crack “
