Jane and Chris (copyrightliteracy.org) speak to science fiction author, journalist, digital rights activist and copyright legend Cory Doctorow.

We hear about his introduction to the copyright debates, his conversion to openness, the problems with the modern copyright regime and his latest book 'Chokepoint Capitalism' written with Rebecca Giblin. We also get his response to a song commemorating our conversation which appears to be by Kraftwerk.
