schestowitz                                        <p>Let me be clear: thanks to digital media, and for the first time in history, free (as in freedom), universal education for all is within reach. Corporate greed is the only thing standing in the way of this goal.

They would rather spend their time and energy devising new ways to make money for their shareholders -- not authors -- and limiting our access to media even further than physical media does naturally.</p>Dec 20 10:35
