Cory Doctorow, on Doctorow’s First Law:
Any time someone puts a lock on something that belongs to you, and won’t give you a key, they’re not doing it for your benefit.
Although Doctorow is an extremist, he’s a rational one. Most of the things he gets worked up about – not using Macs anymore because of DRM – are things I can understand.
And while I still don’t agree in practice with him, more often than not, I agree in principle.
