...but the offer of legal 3-gb torrents of free music seems too good to be true, and the whole festival gives me a liberal vibe. Are these feelings well-founded? Anyone know which side of the fence South by Southwest festival caters toward?

I see you haven't been to Austin recently...

^More like never. Yeah, I found one bigwig's closing speech:
Take Juarez. People talk about the extinction of the press, the demonetizing of reportage. In Juarez people are being shot. Twice the people we lost in 9/11. Why? Because the anti-terrorist anti-insurgency troops switched sides and decided to become a narco-terrorist regime. And something they were told was to ice the media. What conceivable moral leap is there between spectacular beheadings in Mexico and you guys? Because they are in the business of keeping Austin stoned. And this is because of American policy to criminalize drug use with a malfunctioning drug enforcement policy that has festered for a generation and become really severe. And that’s the situation that the internet will be in a couple generations down the pike. The problems that we see today, that we have not dealt with, are going to fester and we’re going to get excoriated for them.
You are going to have to find it in your heart to help these people. It will be your greatest moral test.
…
If we had it to do over the first thing we would have demonitized food and shelter. Imagine if the world had open source food, and shelter.
Neighborgoods.net check it out. It’s socialist media. Why is there not a single startup whose business model is communist? From each according to their ability to each according to their need, Vanguard of the revolution… how much could it hurt?
CRAP. dammit
