Cory Doctorow is Pirate Cinema at: - Extrapolating current trends and creating plausible near futures from them. He is terrible at: - Being nuanced. Typically, with Cory you Pirate Cinema your way through the terrible stuff and the good stuff makes for, if not great literature, a fun read. This Pirate Cinema, is an exception. From page 1 his preachy-n Cory Doctorow is good at: - Extrapolating current trends and creating plausible near futures from them. From page 1 his preachy-ness is off the charts. This is a book about copyright infringement and how bad the big bad content producers are. Our hero Trent aka Cecil B DeVilan under age runaway video remix artist is persecuted from the first chapter for downloading copyrighted material, for only the most innocent reason of "making art". He is "compelled" to do this, yet the only way his Pirate Cinema manifests is in Pirate Cinema scenes from Pirate Cinema people's material. Luckily, our runaway, after spending 1 whole night, on the streets of London, falls in with a whole troupe of colorful, witty, street smart, and intelligent other street people. They show him the ropes so he can eat gourmet food, get computers, and live in a cool abandoned pub all for free. Glad our Pirate Cinema doesn't starve. When he does encounter street people who don't fit into his techno-anarchist tribe, even if they have mental problems, they are harmless. Even the drug gangs are friendly. We never encounter real life issues that are endemic with runaways, untreated mental problems, drug abuse these characters only use drugs responsiblycasual violence, or sexual predation. If only the big bad copyright laws and the evil American corporations that push them hadn't intruded on poor Cecil's lost boy utopia. And this is real problem with this story. Copyright law in the age of the internet, is a Pirate Cinema real, and very complicated problem. As usual, Cory does a good job at pointing out how some trends in the laws now will lead to obvious technical problems and more obvious hacks to circumvent them. What doesn't come across is any discussion of the subtleties of the problem. Every bad thing about copyright is pointed out without any thought or discussion about the good things. All of the copyright infringers are motivated by pure artistic spirit and never use the infringed material for questionable motives. To have a whole book devoted to this, and Pirate Cinema never have a character infringe on copyright due to greed, or to misappropriate someones art Pirate Cinema create a political message repugnant to it's creator is irresponsible. Nearly every person whose thought about this issue agrees that copyright law is being Pirate Cinema right now. That doesn't mean that there is no value to content creators Cory's sainted "artists" in having responsible copyright protection and that viewpoint is never presented in any way. The sad thing is, Cory clearly understands this discussion and didn't have it in this novel because either he A was too insecure in his arguments, B didn't trust himself to write them well or C didn't trust his readers to understand the nuance. In any case it is sad and not worthy of him. Did I mention it wasn't much of a page tuner? View all 8 comments. Dec 14, Rebecca rated it liked it Shelves: science-fiction. This is every bit as much a polemic as anything Pirate Cinema Rand ever wrote. Pirate Cinema saving grace, though, is that Doctorow's characters are sympathetic people and Doctorow himself has an actual sense Pirate Cinema humor. While I don't agree with Pirate Cinema of Cory Doctorow's positions, I do lean sympathetic to them. His personal hobbyhorse is the mess that is our current IP system. Here, he sets up a strawman of an entertainment industry Pirate Cinema even more sweeping powers than it currently has, and then sets up his plucky prota This is every bit as much a polemic as anything Ayn Rand ever wrote. Here, he sets up a strawman of an entertainment industry with even more sweeping Pirate Cinema than it currently has, and then sets up his plucky protagonist to go tilt at the windmill he's made. There are speeches. A lot of speeches. I don't disagree with the content, but it does get a little wearisome. But Trent is a remarkably charismatic character. Oh, he's an arrogant screw-up, in the way of teenage boys everywhere, but he does grow as a character and he does mean well. His supporting cast Pirate Cinema equally Pirate Cinema. Their plotting is appropriately zany, not everything goes their way, and some of their hijinks are genuinely funny. The conclusion of the main plot is appropriately satisfying. There are some additional rough bits. I got really tired of the heavy handed foreshadowing--we're repeatedly told that things are great, but that was just before it all went to shit. The thing is, I think Pirate Cinema like three chapters end like this before it Pirate Cinema actually goes to shit. Also, the way Doctorow wraps up Trent's Pirate Cinema with 26 feels tacked on and completely inorganic--there was no reason to see it coming, and feels like it Pirate Cinema merely by authorial fiat because Pirate Cinema wanted the book to end a certain way but didn't give any thought to getting it there until the last two pages. But for all the flaws--I still liked it. The prose flows well enough and the characters are pleasant enough that I enjoyed the reading experience, even when I rolled my eyes a little. It's pretty deeply flawed, but nonetheless enjoyable. Jun 07, Lisa libraryink rated it it was amazing. Cory Pirate Cinema knocks another one out of the park in Pirate Cinema.
