Transcript:
This is 365 Days of Astronomy for August 4. Today we bring you a new episode in our Space Stories Series. We are always on the lookout for creative commons licensed stories that we can share, and that we hop e will get people thinking.
This week we bring you Cory Doctorow’s Short Story, Printcrime, from his Over Clocked collection. This story, like all of 365 Days of Astronomy, is made available for free and encourages you to remix and innovate. In today’s copyright crazed society, it seems far to easy to run afoul of the law. If you print a new arm for a broken Barbi,are you breaking the law? If you are, is that right? As technology allows us to print our world on demand, it is going to become more and more important to ask questions about what does it mean to create. Imagine a future where humans are spread out across the solar system. If you download your favorite Disney Toy to print for a child – a full 3D printed Mikey, hot from the plastic press, how will we control interplanetary permissions, and how to you create DRM for physical reality? Consider these questions as you listen to “Print Crime.”
