SXSW conference where MPAA was blasted

One of the panels at the recent SXSW conference is one on The Future of Darknets. Apparently, according to the Powazek website, it became a MPAA bashing session when the MPAA rep on the panel was introduced.

What followed was an hour-long firing squad as one audience member after another directed angry questions her way. The feeling of pent-up frustrations with the movie biz was palpable, especially as her claims of flexibility and excitement within the MPAA to find "creative new solutions" to the problems raised by the audience rang more and more hollow, the more times she repeated them.

It'll be interesting to be actually at the conference to hear what happen and thanks to the power of podcasting, you can as the audio file is made available. Some video clips are available too.
