Hi Bradley, > the list-regulars have derailed this thread into pontificating about > unrelated stuff.
Sorry. It's because I feel the current methods of compliance enforcement are failing: they don't cope with the volume of violations; no enforcement ever seems to act as an incentive for others to comply, instead it's better for a bottom line if they don't bother to comply and just hope the SFC, etc., don't come calling. For a copyright holder to enforce takes a lot of time and maybe money. Life's short. It's the purchaser of the hardware that wants the source and is prepared to put some effort to get it. Means of enabling them to do something seem worth considering. Manufacturers care about mass sales and can ignore an annoying individual that buzzes around them like a gnat. They would take notice of large retailers. Cheers, Ralph.
