It's interesting to hear from type designer, certainly not a voice that is heard often enough, at least not in the web developer community. His concern that "someone can take one of our fonts, put it in a freely accessible directory on their server, that’s a violation of most of our license agreements" is nothing new. Håkon's "free font" technique does not introduce this problem, nor does it make it any worse in my opinion.
As a side note, I find it incredibly ironic how difficult it is to read that web page due to the "design" choices made. Thank god for readability: http://blog.arc90.com/2009/04/readability_updated_with_some.php http://blog.arc90.com/2009/04/readability_updated_with_some....

It does make it worse - previously, there was no reason to make proprietary fonts available on the Web unless you were (a) the vendor, or (b) deliberately infringing copyright. Håkon's technique gives people a good reason to put proprietary font files online, and hence introduces a new third class of users, each of whom might or might not be using the font legitimately.
