Also, as someone who has been immersed in tech culture all my life (MIT undergrad in the mid-80s), I find techno-libertarians hugely annoying.
The supreme irony is that these are folks whose very living depends on state power to enforce copyright on the software they write.

Note that Jeffrey Epstein was involved in a whole lot of the "Wired Magazine"-like tech culture that started in the 90s - ironically a lot of the reporting on this is in Wired: www.wired.com/story/jeffre...

Looked it up. Donohue, the author here, is the president of the Catholic League, & also an adjunct scholar with the Heritage Foundation. It has been his life’s mission to defend sexual abuse in the Catholic Church and he is using Kelly’s statements as a further justification in his argument.
