It is wonderful to see UT Faculty of Law hosting this panel.

P.S. The initial audio of the video was horrible (dropping out constantly). A few minutes in, the audio seems to get better but there are still enough audio drop out that makes understanding the discussions sometime changeling.

Judging from the video (a wide shot that I can't even tell who is speaking), for next time may be simply record a perfect audio (in mp3) for people to download will be a great service already.

Thanks again for posting the panel discussion as I am still listening and learning from it (20+ minutes in).
