We have just finished lunch, during which there was a rather contraversial speech. It referred to tax policy and making patents and royalties tax free (or at least, that was my understanding of it...), and sparked lots of interesting debates. Who should and should not be taxed? How much? How do you measure what is creative? The list went on and on.

I am now in Kelly Hill's workshop on producers and cultural industries. We're just introducing ourselves and discussion will begin shortly. I'll write about what went on a bit later so stay tuned.
