And why do these qualities seem to drive regulators and vested interest groups to demand illogical regulation? In this invited seminar, Open University Visiting Senior Lecturer Cory Doctorow discusses the consequence of overzealous technology regulation in a talk entitled: A little bit pregnant: Why it's a bad idea to regulate computers the way we regulate radios, guns, uranium and other special-purpose tools.
