Basically. "A bit over the top" could very well be the byline of gnu.org/philosophy. They are the impractical philosophical anchor at one end of a line of conversation; if the world worked the way the philosophy described, everyone would be a bit technologically poorer (but "freer", at least).
- thebaer 11y agoHow exactly would we be technologically poorer in this case? Would Amazon / B&N / Apple / any ebook distributor suddenly lose their impetus to develop ebook-reading tech / devices?
- Albright 11y agoMaybe they wouldn't lose their impetus, but they might lose their ability to sell the idea of e-books to publishers. The major stores sell DRM-free music now, but do you think that Apple would have been able to get music publishers on board if the iTMS had no copy protection on day one?
