I aim to change with this book.

You know, when Facebook was trying to get users off of MySpace, they didn't say, oh, come to Facebook, read our superior privacy policy, and smug solidarity or solitude until your dumb friends get the message and join you.
They gave them a bot.
And you gave that bot your login and password, and it went to MySpace several times a day, grabbed everything waiting for you, impersonating you, put it in your Facebook feed, and you could reply to it.
That's called interoperability.
And over the last 20 years, we've expanded IP law to make that kind of stuff illegal.
