   Have you considered having a link somewhere on techdirt of past presentations? or maybe at least, the last one given? Don't know if that would spoil the talk, but might give non-techdirt visitors who follow the links a bit more on what you'll say.

   Ah, good idea. We do have a link with some of my past speaking presentations here:

   Which Mike?

   I don't know.
   Mike Masnick? Oh, sure.
   Mike Kessler? Probably not.
   
   Please elaborate. It's tough to tell the Mikes apart.

   Riddle me this

   The SXSW is easily one of the most crowded, convoluted, unnavigable websites I've been to for some time. I didn't find any conveniently placed information on where the damn thing is. I assume the contact us is not where the conference is...
   
   In any case, do something in Chicago and I'll get motivated.

   What he said, but sub in "Phoenix" for "Chicago"

   Re: Re:

   Speaking of pages which could be put up; have you considered a standing page which highlights those who use "free" in their business model--and has links to outstanding examples thereof?
   
   You could call it "Free Trophies" perhaps.

   Austin ought to be full of nonconventional music consumers for you to tease the minds of. I hope you make it here.

   I'm trying

   I won't actually be at the conference, but I think you should definitely give a talk there.
   
   However, after registering on their website, it's now been 20-30 minutes and I haven't received a confirmation notice so I can actually vote (it's not in my spam folder either!)....If it ever shows up, I'll certainly give you my vote!

   I'll vote

   Does this mean I can buy one of the packages and have my lunch with you when you are in Austin?

    It took about an hour for my confirmation email to show up.

    Re: Which Mike?

    It's Mike Masnick, you Dummkopf.
    
    SAT.1 German television is funny, and Masnick may have wit, but he's definitely not as edgy as Michael Kessler.
    
    Just don't treat it like a funeral for the music industry and you should be okay.

    Masnick at SXSW? Sure, you're probably one the best qualified. But Masnick on a Japanese Game Show? I'm there baybee, I'm there.

    Nah, Mike should just send his slides, and the can run them as background against Amanda Facepalm Palmer mouthing off against record companies and middlemen, all the while preparing her Live Nation tour of the UK.
    
    Hmmm.

    "Have Your Say: .."
    but
    "...Should Mike Speak At SXSW?"
    
    So I don't actually get to have my say - another rip-off.

    I second Phoenix. Tucson would be even better.

    SXSW?

    What, precisely, IS this "SXSW" thing? Unfortunately, the blog post doesn't give an explanation or summary, a link to one, or even say what the letters "SXSW" stand for.
    
    In writing school, I was told never to use an abbreviation without expanding it at least in the first place it was used in a story, except for universally known ones like "Mr." and "Dr.". Then again, I got a D- in that course so what do I know?
