It describes how there is some debate as to whether or not fonts can be copyrighted, and it ends with:
> Fonts are digital files, and like every other digital file, the internet will happily provide you a free copy. Yet the font business—completely opposite to the music business in this regard—has continued to grow and thrive in the internet era. Therefore, the font business must be based on something closer to the honor system. It remains an unusual counterexample to the idea that digital rights management and litigation are indispensable tools in intellectual-property economies.
