Why History Needs Software Piracy
Monday, January 23rd, 2012Over at Technologizer, I’ve written an opinion piece that argues why history needs software piracy.
I had the idea for this piece a few years ago, so it’s nice to finally put my thoughts into written form — especially at a time when public debate over digital piracy’s role has reached a new high.
I don’t claim to be laying down the final word on the subject; instead, I view my piece as the beginning of a broader discussion about piracy’s role in the study of history. I hope you enjoy it.
