The talk Cory gave was quite informative and well attended.  Mostly 
librarians and library staff - a rough crowd, but he made it thru 
unscathed.  I would guess that 40-60 people were in attendance and it 
lasted from 3:30 p.m. until past 5 p.m.  Haven't viewed the video yet, 
but I imagine there are kernels of knowledge in there for everyone 
interested in such topics.

Unfortunately, the EFF is losing Cory and he will soon move to London.  
I don't doubt that he will continue supporting Copyright reform and its 
related issues, but it was still nice to have him on board for the past 
few years.  He is extremely well-informed and very good at conveying 
such accumulated knowledge.  I'm glad I got to attend and "Thanks!" 
again to Max for the video.
