"The Internet Con describes how this came to pass, but, more importantly, it tells us how to fix it. It lays out how we can combine different kinds of interop requirements (like the EU's Digital Markets Act and Massachusetts's Right to Repair law) with protections for reverse-engineering and other guerrilla tactics to create a system that is strong without being brittle, hard to cheat on and easy to enforce. "What's more, this book explains how to get these policies: what existing legislative, regulatory and judicial powers can be invoked to make them a reality." Cory ignores that we only need Right to Repair laws because GOVERNMENTS made it a crime in the first place! So color me skeptical that governments are going to "fix" the mess they created. Most of the other problems are simply that most people value things differently than he does: most people are happy with sandboxes from Apple, Facebook, Google, etc., and are not interested in free software, interoperability, etc. We can't improve that with government intervention and we shouldn't try -- look at how they helped with DRM.
