Interview With Author Of 'Hacking The Future'; Techdirt Book Club
from the join-us dept
Today at 1pm PT (4pm ET), we'll be doing a live streaming interview with Cole Stryker, the author of Hacking the Future: Privacy, Identity, and Anonymity on the Web. We've run a couple of excerpts from the book -- one about why anonymity matters, that many of you agreed with, and another about the dark web, which many of you did not agree with. Given that, it should be a fun discussion. If all goes according to plan (never a sure thing when you deal with technology), right around 1pm, we should have a video pop up beneath this text, so check back... If you happen to be reading this after, the full video will be immediately available for viewing.
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

Another TechDirtBag Book Club offering from an author who DOES NOT SUBSCRIBE TO "FREE." Poor Mikey can't even find authors who subscribe to his alternative and extremist point of view. And this guy's selling a HARDCOVER ONLY for $16.69. Talk about your windowed offerings. That guy's just ASKING to have his rights violated, right, Mikey?
But does Pirate Mike say one negative thing about this guy's crazy, dinosaur business models? Nope. The same business model that Mike has made a career out of dissing and whining about is ignored when he's kissing the ass of a writer desperate enough to be seen on his pirate-apologist shit-hole-of-a-blog.
Classic.
Hey Mikey--tell him about how his business models are stupid, and how, if pirates decided to willingly violate his rights in his book, you'd side with those pirates and blame him--the author--for not giving it away for free. And God forbid this author ever go to court to enforce his rights against those that would violate them. Right, Mikey?
LMAO. Desperate douchebag is desperate.
