And "Hacking Politics," with essays from Aaron Swartz, Kim Dotcom, Lawrence Lessig, Cory Doctorow, Ron Paul, Alex Ohanian, and U.S. Representative Zoe Lofgren, is available as a pay-what-you-want ebook download from the same publisher:
OR Books is also publishing a book called "Hacking Politics" about the anti-SOPA/PIPA protests, featuring contributions from Swartz, Ron Paul, Kim Dotcom, Alex Ohanian, Cory Doctorow, and Zoe Lofgren. It is pay what you will.
I wrote code for the collection so that readers can comment on every paragraph, and also, the paragraphs light up to signify where the comments are. The darker the paragraph, the more comments that are lurking inside.
Wait...so your two options are buy from Amazon or pirate? Amazon is basically the worst corporation on the face of the earth. Supporting a small publisher -- especially a small publisher willing to publish Julian Assange, books about Bradley Manning, and books about Wikileaks, is basically a decent thing to do.
Actually I poked around the site more; it's not as bad as I thought (it takes normal credit cards, although authorize.net is kind of a pain). And the non-DRM ebooks are fairly acceptable. I'd still strongly prefer Amazon, but wouldn't pirate out of spite.
