Cory Doctorow is a Canadian blogger and journalist, science fiction author, activist and the co-editor of Boing Boing. Doctorow believes that the laws of copyright are too strict. He finds that digital media rules should be much more lightened and the creation (and files) should be available for everybody for no cost. He has this opinion as far as nobody will earn money with other author's product without having the copyright.
He is against to digital rights management, that is used by many companies such as Sony, Apple and Microsoft. He doesnt find it right that digital rights technologies try to control the user and forbidding copying (for individual use).
I really like the way he thinks of copyright. He is not prohibiting the use of his works and he has found his business model, by earning money by selling his books and articles, also performing by giving speeches and sharing his knowledge, etc.
