I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

Now, is this actual hacking, as in using network exploits, or a Cory Doctorow hack, as in an improved/steampunk/diy way to bread your butter?

Sounds cool. I wonder how they’ll treat a coder’s right to use copyright? Normally the EFF just mocks people who try to enforce their copyright by calling them trolls. But copyright is a big right for coders and it’s the only way we have to enforce licenses like the GPL. Will they call them trolls if they try to enforce these licenses?
