The Revolution Will Be Digitized

Wednesday, October 19th, 2011

Cory Doctorow over at BoingBoing posted about Heather Brooke’s new book The Revolution Will Be Digitized.

Brooke finishes the book with a manifesto of sorts, a call to arms to press, politicos and public to confront the coming deluge of data and channel it for transparency and accountability, but away from surveillance and invasion of privacy (a delicate operation, to be sure!) and to resist using the net as an excuse for more intrusive information policy.


Sounds like essential reading to me.

Cheers. Stay informed.

Electronic Books and the Canadian DMCA

I found this great video over Michael Geist’s blog who also links to a post by Sarah Bannerman. Created at the Vancouver Film School it’s an excellent primer about the impact of DRM on electronic books.

Pass it on.
