What the real big society means for the economy, charities and copyright

Two excellent mini docs just posted to the Guardian videostream from Heydon Prowse and William Pine:

These make essential viewing in my opinion, if only to come some some way to understanding where I'm coming from: ie. spending my time and earnings on the sometimes seemingly pointless area of open design. Its the empowerment stupid.

This is going out as what one might call a three line whip, being blogged on the Slog, here and Censta simultaneously. Annoying to have to do it thrice, I wish there was a way to post to several blogs at the same time, or that Censta would get more feed friendly.
