I'd argue when he used the phrase "digital sharecropper", he did imply that. There's no official definition of "digital sharecropper", but Atwood's is as good

There's no official definition of "digital sharecropper", but Atwood's is as good as any: "Digital sharecroppers typically get nothing in return for the content they've provided, and often give up all rights to what they've created." https://blog.codinghorror.com/are-you-a-digital-sharecropper/ https://blog.codinghorror.com/are-you-a-digital-sharecropper...
- mikestew 11y agoteddyh got it right, and wowser, did you infer a lot from my pithy little comment. I mean, read what you quoted: "give up all rights to what they've created", including throwing it up on the pirate bay. Either free for all, or free for none, because i do charity work for actual charities, not multi-billion dollar for-profit corporations.
