RU Sirius show about EFF suit against Michael Crook

Mark Frauenfelder 9:34 am Fri Nov 10, 2006

The
RU Sirius Show is rather interesting this week; it's the
first installment since show producer and co-host Jeff Diehl announced his
lawsuit, along with the EFF, against griefer Michael Crook for abuse
of the DMCA in an attempt to silence MondoGlobo Network's webzine, 10
Zen Monkeys. The show hosts talk a bit about Crook at the beginning
of the show, although they steer clear of anything too serious or any
legal issues. (Consider also that the show's style is sort of Stern-
meets-Baudrillard.) They also interview author Adam Gorightly about
his biography of Charles Manson, a real-life griefer of far greater
consequence than Mr. Crook.

Meanwhile, on NeoFiles, Sirius and
Diehl have an illuminating and interesting conversation with Fred
Turner, author of "From
Counterculture to Cyberculture: Stewart Brand, The Whole Earth
Network, and the Rise of Digital Utopianism."
