Thank you for taking the time to do the research to write the book about this topic, and doing presentations like this to raise awareness of the industries to "pirating" and its actual usefulness. All of the points you've raised are, I think, important for any industry that wants to survive now a days. I only hope that the people at that Keynote listened and thought about their next actions. I just have one small note for you: When talking about the video game Wolfenstein, you talked about Id software. Their name isn't pronounced as "I" "D", it's actually id (as in part of the psyche). That's a common error most people make, but I just wanted to point that out to you if you ever talk to John Carmack or someone in that company. :P Very nice presentation, Matt.

The thing I liked about Matt's presentation was how he gave a awesome example of how to present online culture to corporate culture.

Other than that great piece and something I'll forward on to the people who should care.
