23 years ago today, I took at job at @eff , turning down an offer from Microsoft to work as their DRM evangelist (!!!!!!).
Best professional decision I ever made.
@pluralistic I remember around 2007-ish you did a steel-man role-reversal presentation at a tech conference here in San Diego — you argued for DRM and a Microsoft rep argued against it.
@mitchw That was Peter Biddle, inventor of Palladium - MSFT's trusted computing initiative
@pluralistic Sounds familiar. I don't remember much about the event but I remember thinking you both did a good job of steel-man-ing the opposing side.
