In the last post I talked about DRM. Digital Restrictions Management I called it. In the post I mentioned Lawrence Lessig, who for some time has been talking about the real danger that DRM poses to our rights. The first link below will take you to a flash presentation of Lessig's Free Culture speech. If you value your right to create culture , then you owe it to yourself to hear what he says.
I you had previously heard Lessig's speech I've got a new one for you. The second link below will take you to a speech transcript given to Microsoft by one Cory Doctorow about the folly that is DRM. He argues more politely and correctly than I could; why DRM is bad for everyone. Go read it, now!
The information soldier is pro-culture...
