Squilliam on 24 April 2011
I wish people would be more realistic in appraising situations like this. The issues at the centre of the hacking debate aren't about whether the makers of I.P. get paid but the terms of control the I.P. distributors have. Copyright spawned off the needs of the book publishing industry and it has served the interests of the various publishing industries ever since. If it wasn't for hackers breaking the digital 'restrictions' management you'd all be paying double on your games/movies/music or more because that would cede complete control to the various publishing houses to set their own price on content which they have a monopoly on.
Tease.
