Not as such. More to the point, I'm advocating phasing out those laws, regardless of whether anyone follows them while they're still on the books. People are already simply ignoring those laws, in ever-increasing numbers; nobody has to advocate for it.

I don't.
- tptacek 17y agoIf you don't use RIAA offerings, why aren't you advocating that other people do likewise? That's Stallman's argument. I don't find it compelling, but at least it's intellectually valid. If you think that's the argument you are making, then where do business models come into the picture?
- apotheon 17y ago> If you don't use RIAA offerings, why aren't you advocating that other people do likewise? I do advocate that other people do likewise. The fact that I don't do so with every breath -- including the virtual "breaths" used to say what's in a particular piece of writing you happened to stumble across -- doesn't mean that I don't do so in general. > If you think that's the argument you are making, then where do business models come into the picture? Why are you trying to tell me I'm not allowed to have more than one argument?
