"As we enjoy great advantages from the invention of others, we should be
glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and
this we should do freely and generously."

Pennsylvania for his "Pennsylvania Fireplace", c. 1744

I should have said, I think onerous DRM will fail in the marketplace. I
see no reason why reasonable DRM like Apple's system that lets you
CHOOSE whether to buy songs from Itunes or fill it with illegal MP3s
should fail.

Damn, Lee, we're agreeing on everything except real-time. This is

i have a question for you though, would you take
widespread copyright
infringement over pervasive DRM (and it's associated outcomes)?
This is a false dichotomy.
it's a moot question, we're gonna get
DRM.
I'm not worried - I think DRM will fail in the marketplace.
