I think I know which speaker most of these points are targeted at, and I agree in reference to that specific speaker. However, the majority of people who went up to the microphone emphasized the first two points here. One of the best moments was when Alexis Ohanian asked for a show of hands if their company was hiring, and maybe 70, 80% of the people in the crowd raised their hand. Speaker after speaker made the point that the tech startup scene in NYC is a huge economic powerhouse and some of the only real job creators in the city. My favorite speaker (sadly, I can't remember who it was -- perhaps it was the former White House staffer?) talked about how what we need to do is have the tech industry work with media producers to come up with creative solutions to combat piracy. I think you may have just been there for one of the few speakers that didn't emphasize that point.
