autonomo.us · on privacy, quality, and autonomy
excellent point, worthwhile argument. however, I think privacy is a behaviour and a policy at the level of the individual and until we are in charge of our data and its integrity, privacy will be hard to protect and implement

Privacy is (to me) remarkably similar to software quality. Defining privacy is hard- like pornography, we know it when we see it, but usually can’t explain it. Valuing privacy properly is also hard- can you articulate when you are willing to compromise it, and for what reasons? And valuing and defining privacy consistently is nearly impossible

It is like running binary-only software, only worse: it's even harder for you to patch the program that's running on someone else's server than it is to patch a binary copy of a program running on your own computer. Just like non-free software, 'software as a service' is incompatible with your freedom."

Intellectual Privilege [on Simon Phipps, SunMink]
Simon suggests replacing Intellectual Property with Intellectual Priviledge. Brilliant analysis of IP and the terms (ab)use. A must read.
