- wowReallyGuys 10y agoThanks for the lecture. Are you so sure that I might be counted among those who advocate walled gardens, closed source software and software patents? Maybe I make my living differently, and carry other views.

- oska 10y agoWe live in a world that groans under the tyrannous yoke of copyright. I don't care if some ‘live comfortably’ from the copyright mafia racket. And now that I've replied in like to your rhetoric I'll point out that this is a question of paid access and not copyright. You can put on a Shakespearean play (written before copyright) in a theatre and still charge entry. Indeed that's exactly how Shakespeare and his company earnt their living. Again, without copyright.
