I don't have much use for the arguments that people shouldn't be paid (or shouldn't be paid "so much") for what they do because someone else doesn't think it's fair. We have a labor market. If a writer or a singer or a professional shortstop can get millions for what s/he does, it's fine by me.
Remember, what copyright does is not guarantee that a writer gets millions. It just prevents people who didn't write it from making millions. Before copyright, that's what happened. If people want to write or sing or play baseball for free, I'm all for that, too. It's just not my place to tell 'em that they "should." -- Lan Barnes [EMAIL PROTECTED] Linux Guy, SCM Specialist 858-354-0616 -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
