jackofallgeeksSo about the time I can physically feel my blood pressure rise whenever I
encounter a certain topic, I should probably consider laying off for a bit.
That having been said, I have every intention of reading and responding to
This
'debate' on Copyright. That the pro-Copyright guy blatantly couches his
point in terms of theft, illegality, and criminal vocabulary irritates me.
But what bugs me more, I think, is that the Anti-Copyright guy they got
seems to argue "every lock can be broken," which I think is the wrong way to
go about it. The argument is not "you can't keep us from doing it," but
rather that what you are doing is itself repugnant. That what you are doing
is stifling creativity, derivative works, fan activity, and treating
legitimate customers as criminals.
