We had a small chat about how BBC built the Creative Archive, how they want to involve other organizations and Paul’s wishes the rest of Europe would wake up and make similair archives. We also briefly touch upon the record industry, based on a survey (86% danish children thinks it’s OK to copy a movies and music) sent to me by Andreas Johannsen.
