I enjoy Cory Doctorow for those invaluable gems that he comes up with every once in a while. This is definitely one of them.
One to think about, and a definite must-read if you're any sort of writer.
I like this quote as well: I don’t want to hold 13-year-olds by the ankles and shake them until their allowance falls out of their pockets, but I do want to be sure that when their parents are thinking about a gift for them, the first thing that springs to mind is my latest $20-$25 hardcover.
