“We are about to change that past, radically. And the premise for that change is an accidental feature of the architecture of copyright law: that it regulates copies. In the physical world, this architecture means that the law regulates a small set of the possible uses of a copyrighted work. In the digital world, this architecture means that the law regulates everything. For every single use of creative work in digital space makes a copy. Thus—the lawyer insists—every single use must in some sense be licensed. Even the scanning of a book for the purpose of generating an index—the action at the core of the Google book case—triggers the law of copyright, because that scanning, again, produces a copy.” For The Love Of Culture | The New Republic

“I expect this strategy to produce invulnerable computer systems: restructure programs to put almost all code into extreme sandboxes; eliminate bugs in the small volume of remaining code. I won’t be satisfied until I’ve put the entire security industry out of work.” D.J. Bernstein: The Good News Archive
