Copyright does not exist

“Copyright Does Not Exist,” is an amazing book by Linus Walleij, a legendary Swedish hacker and Linux guru, who persuasively argues that copyright is a very, very stupid idea. He kicks ass, and he writes like Hunter S. Thompson. Get the book here:

If you have read this book on a computer, without printing it out on paper, you’ve consumed something. Or have you? Do I have to charge for this book before it can be called consumption? I’ll leave that as an open question. I’ve certainly not made a dime from you reading this book, but maybe I’ve accomplished something that can’t be measured in terms of money – maybe I’ve taught you to question the mechanisms of power.

Do I agree with such anarcho-syndicalist drivel? You bet! Remember, information wants to be free!
