Cory omigod

Cory's presentation to Microsoft on why DRM is bad for us and bad for them is other-worldly in its brilliance. Damn funny, too. It is a must-read. In fact, it's a must-be-chiseled-into-lintels. (It's in pdf and is presented by ChangeThis.)

Eric, you should know that Cory Doctorow didn't release the pdf version himself...ChangeThis.com has produced it for people who like sexy looking PDFs I guess. Cory distributed a text version originally, which has allowed folks to do all sorts of cool stuff with it...

I'd say he's totally serious about it.
