Violet Blue and Open Source Sex
January 30, 2008 – 3:05 pm by Mur Lafferty
I very much admire people like Violet Blue and Cory Doctorow. They both are so busy and dedicated to what they believe in, it seems everything they touch turns to gold.
What I love about the Open movement is it can define the most amazing stuff. Sure, I can release novels via open media, but there’s so much more out there. IP lawyer Colette Vogele hinted to me about an open law movement (I need to look into this more before blogging about it). There’s the open science movement. And, with Violet Blue leading the way, an open sex movement.
Her podcast is called Open Source Sex, for cryin’ out loud. She sometimes talks clinical, but more often she’ll read erotica from one of the books she’s edited. Her very sexy blog is Creative Commons Licensed. She releases her ebooks DRM free at Digita Publications. She lectures on cyberlaw. She is sexy, mighty, and so freaking brilliant. I want to meet her some day but would fear I’d turn into a babbling fangirl.

(if not BLINDINGLY obvious, her blog and her podcast are NOT work safe OR kid safe.)
