This is why big tech can never be trusted.

#Introduction Since I've been here for a bit now.

I've been directly and indirectly involved in designing software user interfaces since the late 1990's. I'm currently working in the design team at Sainsbury's in the UK.

Also: playing #drums (see bio), #Linux, the #copyfight, networks and culture, and #DigitalRights. Have shaken the hands of two serving US presidents. Speak reasonable Japanese. I own more hard drives than I have shirts.

On Doctorow's website, he shares a link to this article as a good look at some takeaways from the book:

1. Copyright is all about locks
2. Copyright law is privacy law
3. Copyright law weakens security
4. Copyright law is surveillance and censorship law

I recently read through "Information Doesn't Want to Be Free" by Cory Doctorow (with forewords by Neil Gaiman and Amanda Palmer!), and many mentioned instances of tech overreach are stuck in my head. Not to mention success stories of creators and non-DRM creations.
