haploc reviewed Pirate Cinema by Cory Doctorow
Review of 'Pirate Cinema' on 'Goodreads'
4 stars
When you're interested in all the copyright/patents/"intellectual 'property'" mumbo jumbo, this is a must-read book. It gives a view on where we are heading with all the laws that are being passed in favour of Hollywood (especially Disney) and big corporation media. A story of how it will be impossible to take snippets of existing content and "remix" it into something new (which, in the end, is how all progress is made, take ideas from something you know and remix it into a new idea). A nice and not hard to digest wakeup call if big media continues to have their say. Nice job Cory!
