Berlind champions User Rights
David Berlind has had an outstanding series of posts excoriating what he — following Dan Gillmor — refers to as Digital Restrictions Management.
Go, David! We need more champions and hellcats.
Speaking of Dan, he blogs about Bush’s staged “teleconference” with soldiers in IRaq: “Wouldn’t it have been more honest to use actual marionettes?”
And Eschaton comments, under the post title “Commander in Chief”:
He really said this today. Jeebus:
I wish I could be there to see you face to face and thank you personally. Probably a little early for me to go to Tikrit. Perhaps one of these days the situation will be such that I’ll be able to get back to Iraq.
Yeah, that must have made our men and women feel like he gets them.

FWIW, I think it was Stallman who first pushed to call it Digital Restrictions Management: http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#DigitalRightsManagement
He’s a nut, but he is often a nut who is dead on.
