My essay "The Case for File Swapping" now has a third revision, which was heavily corrected and expanded. The Licence is still the Creative Commons Attribution Licence. Share and Enjoy.

This is Shlomi Fish, a good hacker, where hacker is a good enthusiastic programmer, not necessarily a computer intruder. And I have an announcement to make: I refuse to be an IT slave. Moreover: if you want to employ people like me (and you do), you should not give us only good conditions - you should give us exceptional ones [= conditions]. Otherwise, we'll probably leave, or be fired, much to your misfortune.

More about it in my new essay "The End of Info-Tech Slavery".

With all the fuss about the recent proposal for a DMCA-like anti-file-sharing pro-DRM law (most of the links in Hebrew, see This blog entry in English about it), I have given some time to update my essay "The Case for File Swapping".

It now has a second revision, with many improvements.

And this time whoever catches an error, gets two virtual cookies. (And a credit). Cheers!
