Alternative non-hyperbolic view, he doesn't want to cede control of his invention to a single company?

Fighting Apples dominance in podcasting control has to be sympathetic to marxists like you?

Except it isn’t his invention. I don’t want to rehash 2003 all over again, but it was a collaborative effort that included ideas from Curry, spec work from Dave Winer, and an iTunes pass-through script for downloading to an iPods from Kevin Marks.

Of course, i use "invention" fairly loosely there, but he was absolutely involved, and i would say it's more his invention than not. They call him the podfather for a reason. My overarching point remains the same.

Thanks for that non-hyperbolic view.

The thing is, Apple and Spotify et al. have shown themselves to be willing to censor content in favour of Marxist views; so why would a Marxist fight them? Isn't it part of the playbook to use the existing means of production to harm itself?
