I don't think I believe in intellectual property. Maybe cause I've got nothing worth stealing. I genuinely can't think of any intellectual property I wouldn't gladly give away for the betterment of humankind.

Arguably very little tech journalism can claim to have benefited humankind, even indirectly.

Another thing you might notice on this blog is the wild and irresponsible speculation... maybe a backlash from being a journalist.

Sooo, I'm not sure what I make of the debate for digital rights, Internet privacy and human rights. Personally, I don't regard anything digital as secure or private or a "right". Maybe because I know too much about it. So credit card numbers, banking transactions, anonymity, secrecy, secure tunnels and encryption are all regarded as transparent to the net and it's users.

Instead, I place a certain amount of faith in being "Internet obscure", or not interesting enough to attract any attention. Like this blog, I am hoping that no five minutes of fame comes looking for me.
