Several media outlets covered Cory Doctorow's lecture "I Can't Let You Do That Dave: The Dystopian war On General Purpose Computers and What You Can Do About It" held on 15 January and / or interviewed the science fiction writer and activist.

Teleread's Paul St John Mackintosh interviewed Cory Doctorow before his talk and he shared a slew of observations on a great many issues, many of which Mackintosh will be presenting in subsequent articles. To begin with, though, here are his thoughts on where self-publishing has got to, and what the whole Amazon-Hachette spat reveals about the impact of DRM on the market: http://www.teleread.com/publishing/cory-doctorow-speaks-self-publishing-...
