Techdirt Book Club Question Time: Consent Of The Networked, By Rebecca MacKinnon
from the ask-away dept
As promised earlier this month, we're holding a "book club" discussion on Rebecca MacKinnon's Consent of the Networked. The discussion page over at Step2 is the place for people to submit and vote on questions that we'll use in the discussion itself. If you have questions, submit them there, and as people vote we'll send the best questions to Rebecca, then have a wider discussion with everyone at the end of the month.Also, I know there was some concern that people were unable to obtain a copy of the book. If you still want to participate, Rebecca recently did a great interview with Jerry Brito on his Surprisingly Free podcast. There she discusses many of the key themes in the book, which should give you a good starting point for questions to be asked.
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team

Any good torrent links for the book? I'm sure the author would appreciate the irony of relying upon the hamfisted, centralized control of copyright to enforce her ideals of sharing on the network. She needs our consent to get paid.

Re:
So, no, I don't know of any torrents of the book. And even if I did, I'd say it'd be silly to post them here. Why? Because we're not antagonistic pod people like you, and we appreciate when someone has embraced us as customers and potential customers.
Idiot.
