"Piracy is the direct result of #libraries that aren't powerful enough [...] Everything valid about #Internet #piracy and #bootlegging [...] Is better served by a complete #library system, that allows people to access things to the highest technological capability."
Essential listening! 😀

#OTD in 1928: Joey Noe, partner of #DutchSchultz in #NewYork #Bootlegging rackets, died in Bellevue Hospital of gunshot wounds suffered on Oct. 15. Additional killings occurred, as war erupted between Schultz and former gangland associates. #Histodons
(I continue to wonder if the growth of this conflict, with #Mafia allies emerging on both sides, sparked what became known as the #CastellammareseWar of 1930-31. #MafiaHistory)
