An author could only hope being paid when ordered a work. The only real way to earn a living as an author was to be under the protection of a patron. Which leads to self-censorship, because an author cannot affort to write something his patron would not agree with. This was even the introduction argument of our minister of culture when advocating the DAVDSI law at the parliament (DAVDSI is the transposition in national law of EUCD, which is the european version of DMCA). It was somewhat followed by the argument that only DRM could save copyright... Juridically, Nowhere man -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] OpenPGP 0xD9D50D8A
