My ebooks and audiobooks (from Tor Books, Head of Zeus, McSweeneys, Beacon, Verso and others) are for sale all over the net, but I sell 'em too, and when you buy 'em from me, I earn twice as much and you get books with no DRM and no license "agreements."

Pluralistic: Come see me on tour; How America’s oligarchs lull us the be-your-own-boss fairy tale (16 Feb 2024) – Pluralistic: Daily links from Cory Doctorow

I had heard that title many years ago.
I had the feeling it was from a short story in a science fiction collection...?
So I googled and found this: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Till_Hum…
Could have been either the Lisa Tuttle story (it's from 1973, I think...?) or the Lewis Shiner story...?
The wikipedia article also had the origin of the phrase: T.S. Eliot
