Techdirt Podcast Episode 210: Cory Doctorow On Anti-Circumvention (And More)
from the dmca-fiction dept
Whether it's from his novels, or his work for the EFF and others, most of you probably know all about Cory Doctorow. He last joined the podcast two years ago to discuss his book Walkaway, and this week he's back to talk about his latest book, Radicalized — a collection of four novellas, the first of which is directly based on the issues with the DMCA's anti-circumvention provisions. Check out the episode for a discussion about the book, anti-circumvention, tech companies, and more.

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

Re:
How, specifically, are you playing it? (Soundcloud, streaming in a podcast app, downloading in a podcast app and then playing, etc. And if you're using a podcast app, which one is it?)
Knowing that may make it much easier for Mike to fix the problem.

Why did you ask this, when you already know the answer? And I know you know the answer, because you stated it repeatedly, and defended it ardently, in multiple articles on the Net Neutrality debate: you craft a narrow policy that specifically prohibits "the bad stuff," and only businesses actually engaging in such abusive business practices will be "harmed" by this policy, while everyone else is barely affected. You even had quotes from executives from smaller, non-malicious ISPs stating exactly that, that they weren't engaging in Net Neutrality violations and the proposed regulations would not be in any way "onerous" or damaging to their companies.
Take that exact same principle and apply it to Facebook. Problem solved.
