Cory Doctorow
I just sit down and the page just comes out and I look at it and the elements that appear on that page have a lot to do with what's going on in my life.
Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow
The important thing about security systems isn’t how they work, it’s how they fail.
Cory Doctorow
Stories are propaganda, virii that slide past your critical immune system and insert themselves directly into your emotions.
Cory Doctorow
Where there's life, there's hope. Living people can change things, dead people cannot.
Cory Doctorow
Right, and you point out something important which is that people who don’t want to pay, people who are pirates, don’t get bothered by the DRM, they go out and buy the cracked books or download the cracked books for free. It’s only people who are foolish enough to pay for them that get locked into these platforms.
