| Speaking of DRM. Where are the relevant philosophical and legal debates around digital copy? If we establish some common ground over copy, where balanced legal frameworks can grow, i bet things like DRM would be considered illegal. It should be not be considered a reasonable legal path to be pursued against copyright infringement (which is a reasonable right). And while we are at that, i see a lot of people mentioning
feeling betrayed by Firefox, while back in the day, i felt that it was Tim Berners Lee and W3C who stabbed me in the back with this. Is in time like these that we see how important it is to have a guy like Linus (and all the contributors) behind important projects. Corporations being pulled by the capitalistic strings are not suppose to look forward higher ethical things as the "common good". Its not irrational that corporations do this kind of things, its irrational that we expect them not to, knowing the game that is being played here. |
