Property, Privacy, and the New Digital Serfdom
Summary:

The book examines how digital technology has eroded traditional notions of property and privacy, arguing that consumers are losing control over their digital possessions and personal data. It explores the legal and societal implications of this shift, suggesting that users are becoming like feudal serfs to tech companies that act as the new lords of the digital age.

Key points:

1. Digital Serfdom: Fairfield describes how users don't truly own their digital content or devices, likening them to serfs under company control due to restrictive EULAs and DRM.
