Hahaha. That really is horrible.

You see that phrase in there, "running crooks to ground"? He's recently moved to London and, so, thinks he's suddenly become European. I bet he annoys the shit out of everyone there, just as much as he did everywhere else.

I went to a reading he did in Toronto, once, just to see what sort of loser he was -- I was curious -- and he is a loser extraordinaire. He says that he's promised himself to write something, at least a page if I remember correctly, every single day since he was like... twelve.

And this is the schlock he comes up with.

He is the nerd's nerd, he and his horrible hair and his Buddy Holly glasses and his hatred of live music (he only likes recorded music) and basically everything that has to do with any sort of large-scale expressive interaction. He thinks he is the world's copyright warrior or something, but I am not sure that he does anything well other than whip up badly-glued-together words, thousands a day. I guess the FSF needs people like that?

In other words, he justifys ripping off Isaac Asimov because some obese lying propagandist once ripped off Ray Bradbury. I wonder how much Cory Doctorow weighs?
