Why Pirates are Necessary
Superstar pirate chronicler Matt Mason has released a video bit to go with his nifty book. Check it out here.
If you’ve yet to read it, I strongly recommend picking up The Pirate’s Dilemma. Thank goodness for Whitney Hoffman, else I wouldn’t have read this book. She’s a great book recommender.

This is hilarious. I think though we all have our own thoughts that we all “pirate” in a way. We piggy back off of others and by doing so we get great opinions and conversations going all over the internet.
Nice video Chris, thanks so much for sharing this. It’s so strange, because I “just” finished watching Lawrence Lessig’s TED talk about the same topic.
If you haven’t watched this you should: http://lessig.org/blog/2007/11/my_ted_talk_is_up.html
Cheers buddy.

I thought you meant real pirates, with the eye patches. We need those too. Just thought we shouldn’t leave that out.

I don’t have a url of my own, I borrow my sites.
I love this perspective. Even the most “obvious” point that “piracy is wrong” doesn’t always work out that way.
Just jumped on my Kindle and bought the book.
I’ve gotten so I really find your posts interesting. They bring a perspective that just doesn’t mimic everything else that is written by others.
