Wow ... everyone knows that the Doctorow effect is stronger than the Streisand effect. That even fools know better which is a good indication of where Pixsy's organizational intelligence lies.
- KennyBlanken 5y agoHe's certainly got his fanbase, but the fact that he wasted this much time writing such along-winded rant on this shows how much free time he has on his hands these days. I kept reading looking for some sort of cohesive, intelligent discussion to be expected from one of internet techs' supposed brightest thinking minds and instead it felt like I was reading a 16 year old's livejournal. They sent me a legal threat! And I told them to go away, and they DID IT AGAIN! Summarizing pages of rambling: corp is trolling people by using old versions of the Creative Commons to go after people for "minor" mistakes in attribution. They keep sending (likely automated) emails to Doctorow. He takes them far too seriously, and instead of just sending them a 'stop wasting my time' letter from his lawyer, he wastes even more time.
- alar44 5y ago> the fact that he wasted this much time writing such along-winded rant on this shows how much free time he has on his hands these days. What a strange take. That "long rant" (is a few paragraphs considered long these days? My goodness) probably took him a whole hour. Who cares how much spare time he has? I'll never understand the internet soap operas people like to get all worked up about.
- philistine 5y agoCopyleft trolling is such a new, and frankly dangerous concept, I for one am glad Cory Doctorow lost a bit of time to this journalistic endeavour. Hurray I say!
