CARP - Webcasters Town Meeting in Washington D.C.

IWA dedicated the second in a series of on-line Worldwide Town Meetings of Webcasters to the implications of the Copyright Office recommendations known as CARP that was webcasted live today from Washington, D.C. The broadcast was made possible by various sponsors and the assistance of TVWorldwide.com who is hosting the webcasts. 

The Archived Webcast in Real Format is available by clicking here.   The Webcast is 3hrs and 18 minutes long

From where I sit, this is one of the most important webcasts ever done to date. This webcast answers many of the questions and explains in plain language what will happen to webcasting if CARP is adopted in its current form.

There are five panel sessions in the webcast
