An unabashed promulgator of the Internet and its democratic potential, Doctorow explores the benefits and consequences of online systems in this provocative collection of six mostly long stories… Most “meat”-minded readers will find much to savor.

Hello there. I really like your explanation how allowing others to mix and mash your stuff is not detrimental to your economic well-being: in fact it positively helps if I understand you correctly. I just bought Overclocked in hard copy and couldn’t help noticing that it contains the standard dire copyright warnings. Is this just publishers in the analogue world still not getting it?
Best wishes
ps looking forward to reading beyond the backside of the title page…

Yeah, basically arguing about the Creative Commons releases is something that only concerns the editorial department; arguing about the copyright notice on the title page involves the legal dept. Legal depts are a pain in the ass.
