A conversation with Cory Doctorow

Cory Doctorow is a well known copyright activist, blogger (he co-edits Boing Boing) and Sci-Fi writer. He takes time out from his busy schedule fighting the evils of DRM and spends some time chatting with us about his views and his goals.

"DRM systems are usually broken in minutes, sometimes days. Rarely months. It's not because the people who think them up are stupid. It's not because the people who break them are smart. It's not because there's a flaw in the algorithms. At the end of the day, all DRM systems share a common vulnerability: they provide their attackers with ciphertext, the cipher and the key. At this point, the secret isn't a secret any more."
