Cory Doctorow is a dream come true as an interview partner. Very precise, puts not-easy-to- understand-internet-stuff-issues into words so that everybody gets the message. Since it will take time until I can transcribe the interview, here some quotes & essentials:

  • “The ancient parabel of the Internet: The more valuable a file is, the more widely distributed it becomes.”
  • “When 400 people eat an apple, noone benefits, especially the apple. When 400 people share a file, everyone benefits, especially the file.”
  • “It will never get harder to copy things. It will only get easier. And that’s good.”
  • “Of all the people who don’t buy my books today – most don’t buy them because they never heard of them. Not because someone gave them a free copy.”
  • “The problem for most authors is not piracy, it is obscurity.” (Cory cites Tim O’Reilly)
  • “I have so many friends now I never met. Because I live on the Internet.”
