Cory Doctorow | The Coming War on General Computation
Users of personal computers have consistently been forced to deal with copyright protection schemes that limited their use of software. From copy protection to rootkits, companies continue to try to protect their material through technical methods and legal challenges. In his presentation at the 28th annual Chaos Communication Congress (28c3), Cory Doctorow reviews the history of these issues, but also warns of the continued war against the general purpose computer.
Cory argues that proposed laws such as the Stop Internet Piracy Act (SOPA) and other worldwide legal actions only make it easier for developers to monitor the use of the computer via malware installed as part of the application software. He calls for greater consideration of ways to protect copyright without reducing the value of the general purpose computer to the end user.

Cory Doctorow on copyright, corporations and creativity. Part 1
In this fascinating Meanland lecture at Melbourne Writers Festival, Cory Doctorow explains how the digital world is shaped by corporations enforcing digital rights management regimes.
So while the internet and digital technology is challenging traditional notions of copyright, the new world emerging is not necessarily one that’s better for artistic creators or consumers. Acclaimed SF writer, blogger and commentator Cory Doctorow looks at the perils - as well as the opportunities - of this brave new world.
