“We just need names, Mr. Salmon.”
“Names?”
“Friends, family… whomever you feel has violated the Blacklist. Known Copylefters, Mr. Salmon. Dangerous people who don’t believe in, or respect, Corporate accumulation rights.”
“But… but I don’t know anyone like that!”
“Ah, but Mr. Salmon… you’re a known affiliate with an extremist organization already.” He reaches into his pocket and holds something out.
“But, that’s just my library card!”
He smiles. “That’s where all the dissidents get their start.”
