This article reminds me of a quote from a Bruce Sterling lecture: http://uscpublicdiplomacy.com/index.php/events/events_detail/1943/ http://uscpublicdiplomacy.com/index.php/events/events_detail... "Hackers love IP. I mean, Eben Moglen, I saw this guy. He says, you know, we're not going to be able to convince the ruling class to change things the way we GNU freaks like it, so let's just make it really complicated! Just go in there and hack the living daylights out of intellectual property! Just quibble, quibble, quibble! Raise hell! NIMBYize all the time! Until people just become critically bored with it, and they just throw up their hands, because I just can't be bothered. I can't keep track of all my licenses, and my this, and my that, and the other, and it's just completely unmanageable."
