Keynote: Robert Levine Robert Levine is a journalist based in New York and Berlin. Free Ride is his first book. Free Ride: How Digital Parasites are Destroying the Culture Business, and how the Culture Business can Fight Back “Levine adroitly follows the trail of money that powers legislation and advocacy, which in turn affect public opinion as well as laws. As he puts it, “Copyright holders talk about theft while technology companies hide behind the public interest”, yet it isn’t out of idealism that Google spends millions of dollars to influence public policy.
Levine shows that Google is the largest of several technology companies that influence policy by funding organizations like the New America Foundation, Public Knowledge, Creative Commons, and Berkman Centers for Internet and Society at Harvard and Stanford. “ Bill Rosenblatt, Copyright and Technology
