The ippr have just posted audio from an event I attended on Friday last week, the last in their series to accompany the UK Gowers Review of Intellectual property. Hear Lord Sainsbury (DTI), Chris Parker (Microsoft), Rufus Pollock (Open Knowledge Foundation) and Dr Richard Jennings (Cambridge Enterprise) on Innovation in the Information Age, then listen to the assembled audience of IP lawyers, rightsholder lobbyists, free culture folk and journalists give them a grilling. My favourite part is when Bobbie Johnson of the Guardian asked Sainsbury if the Tories had patented sleaze, and if so, were Labour licensing it off them…
