You are aware that, between the unix wars, the spats with microsoft, and the general people who grew up ripping music/games off of random places, you're probably in one of the most hostile places to IP... pretty much anywhere, right? The entire subculture that this site takes its name from is hostile to IP. I mean, except for the start-up founders that hang around here, but this site is mostly kept up as a way for them to recruit it seems like (and maybe a way to build good will). Edit: To be clear, I'm not necessarily saying you're wrong, but you could probably pick a more sympathetic argument from a strategic perspective. What you've done is kinda the equivalent to going to the Vatican and arguing that something is a threat to idol worship. You might be right, but a good chunk of your audience wants that.
