Thanks :)  I did pounce on Matt a bit.  I didn't like his "DRM is
allowing consumers to access music in a better way."  His attempt to
equate things like streaming music with DRM is just silly, and I took
him to task on that connection.

The weird angle when I was talking to studio guests had to do with the
profile shot they wanted.  The producer told me to look at a certain
point on a wall near the empty space on the sofa where Andrew was
sitting.  I guess this was OK on close shots, but on a wide shot of all
three of us it must have looked pretty strange.  I confess I also tended
to look downwards, as this is a habit I have when thinking.

Sighs.

It looks like I might get a call-back sometime in the future.  In the
meantime, I'm please to report that the lawyer - Andrew Sparrow - is
actually friendly to our goals of freedom and empowerment.  He believes
that copyright holders have a right to get paid for their work if they
choose, but he also thinks that solutions should be legal rather than
technological.  I'll be having a meeting with him somewhere down the
line to talk about what we can do together.
