If ORG wish to be seen as loony compromisers adopting the logical fallacy of

If it also means ORG are happy to give their tacit blessing to FC-UK for it
to take an abolitionist stance, well, let's roll!
If anyone needs a public advocate for abolition, count me in the shortlist.

ooo-er. Can we confirm that includes patent abolition as well as
copyright - but not author's rights? Every time an argument comes up
over copyright (or patents applied to 'soft' things), people seem to
find it necessary to show how they are actually moderates at heart by
saying 'of course patents for hardware and medicine are perfectly
reasonable'. Well, they may have been once but they are not any more;
they are just a tool to create barriers to entry to markets, generate
oligopolies, and screw consumers..
rant over..
