If you watch the talk, you will see that it was written for the choir. He discusses the challenges and responsibilities that we as hackers will face in future, and how they will go way beyond the current copyright wars. It was something of a call to arms basically.
I was in the audience last night, and it was an excellent presentation. All of the talks I have seen so far have been excellent, and I encourage you to check out the 28c3 youtube channel, where prerelease versions of all the talks are being posted (with extremely low delays I might add.)
Thanks for the recommendation. I did watch the first half hour's worth, up to the Q/A session. I didn't really hear any 'next action' though... was there any recommendation on what I should be doing about this now?
Not as such, it was more of a general thing about what might (probably will) happen in the future, designed to provoke thought in the community. As he was dealing in hypotheticals, however likely they may be, there was not much talk of specific actions, as far as I remember anyway.
The Q&A was also very interesting, and it included more concrete discussion of possible ways forward I think.
