We have two new iSummit '08 keynote videos to add some inspiration to your week.

Adam Haupt discusses corporations' tendencies to employ narrow understandings of IP to protect their own interests often at the expense of the public interest, and to the detriment, not only of innovation and creativity, but also of basic human rights and essential democratic values. He uses two case studies from South Africa: One involving a legal battle between culture jammers, Laugh It Off and South African Breweries, and the other a 'media moment' based on a stand-off between Wiley Publishers of "for Dummies" fame and  newspaper, The Mail and Guardian.
