If buying isn’t owning, piracy isn’t stealing. [yes, from the same guy who gave us “enshittification”]

I’d heard and used both phrases before but didn’t realize they had the same author. Coincidentally, I recently reread one of his books, Little Brother, also by chance of reading about it on a Lemmy comment.
It’s no surprise the author of that book has these views. I think I’ll read more of his work.

recommend Walkaway (completely unrelated to the subreddit, they went in a very … *cough* different direction)

On your recommendation, I picked up a copy from my library this morning. Only had time for the first chapter, but I’m already liking it. Thank you.

He currently has a Humble Bundle, so if you read digital books (I use a tablet, my wife a ebook reader, but you can also use a phone or laptop) then you can get many of his books cheaply (without DRM, of course).

Fantastic, I’ll certainly be making use of that. I’ve never been one for digital reading - I printed out Little Brother and read it that way - but with no DRM how could you complain. I appreciate the link.

This Doctor fellow seems like he has some interesting things to say.
