Thanks for the summary. He made some really excellent points, but unfortunately he doesn't differentiate between his facts, guesses, speculations, and opinions.

Thanks for the summary. He made some really excellent points, but unfortunately he doesn't differentiate between his facts, guesses, speculations, and opinions. It's all written in the same tone - which had me stopping and doublechecking a bunch of points, with, "Is this a fact, or is he extrapolating, or is this his opinion...?" Bit of a confusing read, but there's some real gems in there. This was the most interesting part for me, about Google happily letting the Author's Guild get class-action status: http://www.internetevolution.com/document.asp?doc_id=178058&page_number=5 http://www.internetevolution.com/document.asp?doc_id=178058&... Again, you can see the mix of facts and speculation and opinions all rolled into a ball, but a pretty interesting piece none the less.
