Peter's Griddle

Cory Doctorow argues that every complex ecosystem inevitably has
parasites, like e-mail has spam. The corollary of this is that if you
succeed in killing the parasites, you will have succeeded in
trivialising the ecosystem, and stifling innovation. He applies this
argument to digital rights management. Available in audio through
