I am SO sorry this went so long. It’s been a while, so just pretend it’s several episodes. (I didn’t even cover half the topics I originally gathered!) I promise that future episodes will be closer to 30 minutes per episode.
Topics: Surveillance on Private Property in Major Cities, Total Information Awareness Program Still Alive and Well, Are Web Companies Supporting Censorship in China?, MPAA Bittorrent lawsuits, Network Neutrality, What is Cultural Environmentalism?
Concept of the week: Free Software

Comments welcome!
This week’s topics:
Sony BMG Week in review, CCTV license place recognition privacy concerns, the state of piracy, A new Data Privacy & Security Bill before the Senate Judiciary committee, Free Patents for Open Source, and Jack Thompson.
If you’re listening, please leave a comment, e-mail, or voice mail.
This is mostly a test. I plan to go ahead with future episodes and more in-depth coverage. (Like 30+ minutes per show, and 5-6 main stories.) I’m open to any suggestions you may have.
This week we briefly cover the Sony rootkit issue, and Richard Stallman’s aluminum foil incident at the UN Summit in Tunisia.

Well, I was right. EFF is getting involved in a class-action suit against Sony.
I added links at the end of the list for more info.
