SFC Executive Directory @karen recently sat down with Cory Doctorow @pluralistic to talk about software right to repair, the utility and history of DMCA exemptions, and all kinds of things related to technology and our roles as activists.
A great watch to get inspired and imagine what software freedom means for the future.
