Summary

This week, Riley, Hussein, and Alice speak with author, activist, and friend of the show Cory Doctorow about the ongoing lawsuit against the Internet Archive—a campaign by the mega-conglomerate publishers of America which all hate free digital book lending—and why public libraries are squarely in their money-squeezing targets. We also talk about some great developments in some of the dumbest crypto / lending fraud cases, where it seems the brightest minds of the 30 Under 30 list forgot that prosecutors can subpoena your emails. We hope you enjoy!
