Dave Winer: “I was on a trainstation platform and someone took a picture of the scene. I thought “I’d love to have a copy of that picture” and I thought “Why should that camera have a wifi connection and an RSS feed. I could have my camera find their camera and subscibe to ther RSS feed and get a copy of their pictures”. And, of course, they could get the picture I take of them.

Why can’t our devices ALL be two-way, web connected and shareable. After all, I’m in their camera, right?

(Everyone listening nods).

So, I have a right to my own picture, right?

(Everyone nods).

(Dave notices that someone just outside the group has been taking a video of him and what he has been saying).

Hey… I don’t want to be video’ed. I want you to erase the tape. How dare you take my ideas. Let me see you rewind and erase me on there. I can’t believe this… what has the world come to. It’s like no one has any privacy any more. And everything we say is just free to grab… to steal.
