- dhosek 7y agoCory Doctorow tends to be a bit ranty when it comes to DRM. He wrote a whole not-so-great novel that was a rant on the subject. Which is not to say that DRM is peachy-keen fine and wonderful, just that he's probably not the best spokesperson for the opposition to DRM.
- correct_horse 7y agoI don't necessarily agree or disagree, but the author is comparing religion to free market capitalism, not to DRM directly.
- johnfactorial 7y agoAnd when capitalists start telling you to trust the invisible hand of the market, the comparison to religion becomes obvious & apt. Edit: for those who, for some reason, think my comment unworthy: "The ‘invisible hand’ has an iron grip on America " https://fortune.com/2014/08/13/invisible-hand-american-economy/ https://fortune.com/2014/08/13/invisible-hand-american-econo...
