Cory could have done better by his response
I’ve read Cory Doctrow’s collection of papers on this subject, as well as a large number of his short stories. I’ve got a huge respect for his intellect and his talent.
That being said, I think copy/pasting from those copyright papers has produced something of a franken-thesis, with very little to tie it all together.
