Bill Murray On The Bag And Baggage Podcast

Back in September, Bill Murray (senior fellow with the USC Annenberg School Center for the Digital Future, former Co-Chief Operating Officer of the Motion Picture Association, and principal of William Murray & Associates) was on the panel I moderated for the ABTL's program on the MGM v. Grokster decision. I thought Bill had a unique perspective and interesting insights, and was eager to pick up the threads from our talk in a subsequent podcast. He kindly agreed, and the show is now available as The Bag and Baggage Podcast, #16.

Better Bad News (0:46-0:50): "That Grokster decision is causing trouble for weapons manufacturers." Heh.

I Second That Full Motion

I agree with Neil Squillante about the key role mobile video will come to play in our lives. I'm looking forward to making his grandma's Eggplant Fritatta (M4V) too. Neil: give us a feed (no pun intended) and keep this stuff coming! (Hint to all aspiring portable videogogs: if it doesn't have a feed, the odds of it making it to my iPod are slim to none...)

Common New Year
