Publisher Equates Laptop Theft with Book Indexing
Jump to Comments
I read Cory’s post about the Google laptop theft on boingboing and I saw red. So I started an internet petition to scare the treeware vendors.
The petition is for anyone who’s boycotting MacMillan until the company, and Charkin, offer an official apology for equating a legitimate act of copying with the theft of physical property.
More background on the incident here, here, or here. The Good Doctor Lessig explains why Charkin’s such an ass here.
