Technology Liberation Front: Satire as Misrepresentation

  • Jim Harper · 4 years ago
    In fairness, Lauren Weinstein calls it satire in the original. It's not a PFF characterization. But it is extremely inapposite satire, and not very good, isn't it? Lauren would have done a better job by satirizing how his computer violates the copyrights of software authors each time the computer runs programs. But then that would have made a different point: that Google is not harming the market for copyrighted content and vastly increasing the usefulness of such content at the same time.
