“Tech bosses are fundamentally at war with the idea that our digital devices contain general purpose computers. The general-purposeness of computers – the fact that they are all Turing-complete, universal von Neumann machines – has created tech bosses’ fortunes, but now that these fortunes have been attained, the tech sector would like to abolish that general-purposeness; specifically, they would like to make it impossible to run programs that erode their profits or frustrate their attempts at rent-seeking.” Cory Doctorow identifies the court of law as the true battleground in the War on General-Purpose Computing.
