I think for PyCon, a lot of the seminars are online for free (even for non
attendees).  Also, when I've run a workshop, I just asked the speakers to
sign a release form to authorize distribution of videos, etc.  This would be
best to be agreed upon in advance.  Personally, for me, conferences are more
than just the talks....


Cheers,
William
