"This bit was taken a bit out of context. My point was that if novels matter to customers, they will survive. They don't need special protection. I was reacting to a conversation that I had on Charlie Rose that struck me as very entitled. I had made a comparison to classical music, making the point that what we consider "classical music" was once popular. And that when we got this mindset that classical music needed special funding and protection, it became increasingly disconnected from what people really wanted to hear. I love fiction and consider it a great art form. But if it really matters, it will survive. And meanwhile, it will continue to evolve."

"Aaron didn't actually release the JSTOR downloads. He did some research on the downloaded corpus. If someone did the same for Safari, I might well have been intrigued and asked for a copy of the research. It's true that if Aaron had actually released all the bulk-downloaded data, in despite of the copyright owner's wishes, he would have been doing something I wouldn't approve of. If you look at my history on the subject, I am all about finding the right balance between open and closed. E.g. when bookshare.org asked for copies of my company's books for scanning, I said, "Why don't we just send you the files?" Now almost all publishers do that."

"Just because Napster was shut down didn't mean that the future of music wasn't online.... Whether Uber succeeds or not, we can look forward to hailing cabs on our phones with a system much like it."

"That's an important and thought-provoking point, Alasdair. A world without cash simplifies user experience, but creates many new issues, both the credit-divide issue you highlight here, but also privacy."

"I didn't know Corwin well; I wish I had. The stories told here are a testament to how he lives on in the lives of others. I am reminded of Auden's poem on the death of W.B. Yeats: "Now he is scattered among a hundred cities And wholly given over to unfamiliar affections, To find his happiness in another kind of wood And be punished under a foreign code of conscience. The words of a dead man Are modified in the guts of the living." I also think of Wallace Stevens, as if reflecting on Corwin's intense physicality: "The greatest poverty is not to live In a physical world, to feel that one's desire Is too difficult to tell from despair. Perhaps, After death, the non-physical people, in paradise, Itself non-physical, may, by chance, observe The green corn gleaming and experience The minor of what we feel. The adventurer In humanity has not conceived of a race Completely physical in a physical world." and, Stevens again, reflecting on death and continuance: "How red the rose that is the..."
