Foundational to my PhD--I hope Cory doesn't hate me after everything I've taken him to task for (no, we don't know one another, but I do sink the boot in...) ( ) Mr. Doctorow is on the forefront of one of the most important battles of our generation. The fact that most people have no knowledge/interest in this fight is the most powerful weapon in the hands of the opponent. This is a complex debate- and Mr. Doctorow is an important voice for individual’s information rights. This book is collection of articles has published over the years on topics from DRM, copyright, protection of artists’ rights, ebooks, fair use, and the economics of open source content. While in some of his arguments- I think he pushes the envelope a bit too far, Doctorow nevertheless provides a succinct, knowledgeable examination of these topics. I think we all owe him a debt of gratitude for being our watchdog against the corporate behemoths. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione
Hailed by Bruce Sterling as a "political activist, gizmo freak, junk collector, programmer, entrepreneur, and all-around Renaissance geek," Cory Doctorow is the web's most celebrated high-tech pop-culture maven. Content is the first collection of Doctorow's infamous articles, essays, and polemics. Here's why Microsoft should stop treating its customers as criminals (through relentless digital-rights management), how America chose copyright and Happy Meal toys over jobs, why Facebook is taking a faceplant, how Wikipedia is a poor cousin of The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, and, of course, why free e-books kick ass. Accessible to geeks and noobs (if you're not sure what that means, it's you) alike, Content is a must-have compilation from Cory Doctorow, who will be glad to take you along for the ride as he effortlessly surfs the zeitgeist.
