Cory doctorow on the history of copyright
Here (you tube) is a must-see public speech by Cory Doctorow explaining the work of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, and the politics surrounding DRM and copyright. Pity the sound quality is poor.
I'm using 'hack' here in the old sense of meaning 'to rig up', or 'to come up with a quick-and-clever solution', not in the more recent sense of 'to break into'. The term is still widely used to mean a creative act, not a destructive one, and that's how I mean it here.
