@doctorow's law applied to DRM; a benevolent dictatorship. #iPad

"If someone takes something that belongs to you, and puts a lock on it that you don't have a key for, that lock isn't in your best interests."
"Anytime someone puts a lock on something you own, against your wishes, and doesn't give you the key, they're not doing it for your benefit."
-Cory Doctorow

In his recent Publisher's Weekly article, Cory reviews why "Already, Apple's App Store has displayed the warning signs of a less-than-benevolent dictator."
