I have great respect for Leo and know almost nothing about Doctorow, but I nearly cheered out loud when I heard his comments. Audible is welcome to DRM their stuff. I don't have to buy it, and I won't. But Leo has been vocal in the past about how DRM does not work and that it is generally a bad idea, yet he consistently keeps his mouth shut about Audible's DRM, and continues to take their money. Leo has talked a lot about journalistic integrity and how that paid reviews and "pay per post" type schemes destroy the blogging world. But here he is engaged in the same practice. Yes we know they are a sponsor, but he seems to not be saying what he truly believes about them. Maybe this episode will set some changes into motion.

They walk a fine line between being pure of spirit and being blind to reality and thus defeating their own cause.

But every time he gets on the subject of copyright I just immediately skim past it; it's like listening to Ron Paul talking. *sigh*
