Take copyright: when I was a baby writer, there were dozens of comparably sized New York publishers. The writers who mentored me could shop their rights around to lots of houses, which enabled them to subdivide those rights. 3/
This week on my podcast, I read my @Medium column "A Bug in Early Creative Commons Licenses Has Enabled a New Breed of Superpredator," describing my bizarre run-in with a group of #CopyleftTrolls who tried to shake me down for $600.

🧵#LatinXChem En mi experiencia optar por software gratuitos surge de la necesidad de encontrar alternativas al pago de licencia. No cuento con 💵 y tampoco quiero bajar "cracks", ni versiones piratas por miedo a los 🦠s, ademas de que está 🚫por la ley

*My stated position on the @internetarchive's "Emergency Library": seems to differ from Pat's (which I don't find surprising) but I really don't see how you make such a strong relation between #privacy & #copyleft, unless it's an in-group/out-group thing?
I've known both you and Pat for years, Andrew. I think you'd actually have some fascinating conversations over a pint - you might ask him about GSMA & Ebola DP 'war stories', if you ever do meet - so maybe not so much with the brush-tarring, please? It diminishes us all.
