Cory Doctorow is a very well known science fiction writer, journalist, and a commentator on technology and social issues. He is interviewed in about the first 15 minutes of the Canadian (CBC) program Spark 170. I think what he’s saying is both prescient and very important.
It would be worthwhile for American readers to listen to the second interview as well, which gives a bit of a view of SOPA/PIPA from outside this country.
