In the liability for user-generated content a question and answer happened something like this:
Question:
Content Owners have a hard time, when they have exclusively licensed content e.g. to Pay-TV, when it keeps popping up at youtube and other plattforms every other second.
Answer by Andreas Weigend:
Well, business models become obsolete all the time!

The wiki of the open space parallel to the web2.0 expo finally has information on some prechosen sessions during the next two days.
Dr. Werner Vogels of Amazon just announced in his keynote at the Web 2.0 Expo today, that buckets at S3 can now, starting today, be stored in Europe by default. S3 and EC2 are in my opinion the proof of concept of a new form of solution providers saving your company building knowlegdge in areas that are not your core competency much more than previously available by tech outsourcing.
I have not yet found an official press release or european prices yet.
Update: Dr. Werner Vogels has confirmation up on his page. The prices for Europe can be found directly at the S3 page.
Check out David Orban’s Blog for some more impressions from Day 0 of the Expo (in some ways, it was more a Day 0 than a Day 1).
The first couple of slides have been made available through slideshare!
At his Web 2.0 Expo Berlin Keynote yesterday, Tim asked the audience a question: “Are you all looking forward to the launch of the iphone in Germany?”. Clearly he was expecting a “hell, yeah, can’t wait”-kind of response.
But nearly nobody cheered! Why was that? He must have thought, all Germany is unaware of this great product, we don’t encourage innovation – you could see these thoughts on his face.
What he didn’t know, that nobody cheered because of the expensive tariffs, the traffic limit etc. The question was phrased wrong for this occasion. Statements minus context are hard to evaluate and lead to misunderstanding. So it shows, we have got a long way to go, before these visionary services he proposed can properly understand context.
If you do speak german, there is a good summary of the Keynote by Thorsten Kleinz over heise.de

There is a special conference social network over at crowdvine: http://web2berlin.crowdvine.com/ which has by now already been joined by over 420 users on the first day. A lot of users have added their profiles, so if you run across people on the Expo floor you can network more easily. Let’s see how this interesting start evolves during the week!
