Cory Doctorow has always been a bit of a clown (I say this as someone who was reading BoingBoing in print) but right about the time he decided Google should be a public utility and his ideas on copyright/IP were the One True Faith is when his airship sailed off into irrelevancy.

BoingBoing was pretty good - Doctorow can turn a good phrase sometimes and rubbed shoulders with a good crowd. But... For me, the last straw was BB's piece on the Wells Fargo fraud. Fish in a barrel to condemn that, yet for some reason the story flat-out made up new accusations.
