Cory Doctorow is an activist/sci-fi writer/blogger/public speaker/technology person and canadian.

Some common themes of his work include digital rights management, file sharing, Disney, and post-scarcity economics.

All of his books are available 4free on his website in all possible formats & the community is contributing language translations, artwork, conversions ect.

I am pro-user, and while I’ll tolerate just about any re-use of my books, the one perversion I won’t stomach is the use of bullshit DRM in connection with it, if I can help it. (quote: ground-rules for DIY file-conversions ;) )

 

The author will be in vienna for monochrom´s taugshow # 15 which will take place @ Brut, Konzerthaus.

Fri November 23, 8:00pm.
