"WHO OWNS CULTURE?
LIVE from the NYPL in conjunction with Wired magazine

Celeste Bartos Forum"

Jeff Tweedy is one of the most reasoned, credible, and sensible voices in the debate over the sharing of music. Certainly he's put his money where his mouth is by embracing tapers, traders, and the distribution of Wilco's music via the internet. Should be an interesting discussion.
