Cory Doctorow:

“An artist’s enemy is obscurity, not piracy.”

“the most interesting discussion bubbling up now is how do we get stable institutions when, at any moment, new technologies render them obsolete”

“Stability is over-rated… our cultural institutions, whose purpose-arguably the purpose of all institutions ever-is to facilitate collective action, to do things one institution can’t, will now be created on an ad-hoc basis, to pass away when not needed.”
