Cory Doctorow
“Today’s tech giants have not invented an interop-proof computer. They’ve invented laws that make interoperability illegal unless they give permission for it. A new, complex thicket of copyright, patent, trade secret, noncompete and other IP rights has conjured up a new offense we can think of as “felony contempt of business model”—the right of large firms to dictate how their customers, competitors and even their critics must use their products.”
Cory Doctorow, The Internet Con: How to Seize the Means of Computation

“Big Tech’s handouts from Big Government made the tech class what it is.”
Josh Hawley
