VIDEO: Derek Khanna on Disruptive Innovation in Washington, DC @DerekKhanna @BerkmanCenter #copyright

by

On April 9 2013 the Berkman Center hosted Derek Khanna talking about Disruptive Innovation in Washington, DC. Khanna gained notoriety late in 2012 after his paper ‘Three Myths about Copyright Reform and How to Fix it.‘ for the Republican Study Committee was later repudiated. This year he notably pushed the successful White House petition against cell phone unlocking prohibition, and spoke at Freedom-to-Connect. In this talk Khanna presents a strategy to address real and systemic problems related to technology and antiquated legislation, by re-framing the policy questions, winning small battles, and developing a working coalition to achieve positive technology policy reforms in an otherwise complacent Congress.
