I was talking about human presence on Earth in general.
But newspapers are still exactly the same as they were, stuffed with ads. They might not have dominance, but haven't really changed.
And I didn't say anything about keeping RIAA or locked down systems.
I don't own a game console and never will. I find Android too locked down for my tastes, if that explains anything.
It's true that selfish efforts to fight back changes are pathetic and must be stopped, but abolishing patents/copyright completely would just cause massive depression. I don't like how companies are abusing it through breaking your own stuff so you buy new stuff or replacement parts, but that's their business model. The underlying issue is that the corporate culture requires such behaviour, how else wouod you pay an army of managers and the board-horde?
- Zigurd 13y ago"but abolishing patents/copyright completely would just cause massive depression" That's a strange brew of alarmism. What commerce would actually stop if copyright and patent terms were, say, returned to the original Copyright Act terms?
