Today's TEDTalks

This is the best discussion of copyright I've heard in a while. Johanna Blakley: Lessons from fashion's free culture. "Copyright law's grip on film, music and software barely touches the fashion industry ... and fashion benefits in both innovation and sales, says Johanna Blakley. At TEDxUSC 2010, she talks about what all creative industries can learn from fashion's free culture."



And this is the best explanation for suicide bombers I've seen. Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy: Inside a school for suicide bombers. "Filmmaker Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy takes on a terrifying question: How does the Taliban convince children to become suicide bombers? Propaganda footage from a training camp is intercut with her interviews of young camp graduates. A shocking vision."
