*sigh* We're not talking about weapons. We're talking specifically about interesting and constructive pieces of music software. I believe that the existence of FL Studio and software like it enhances the world. You might argue that it would be better if written or distributed in a different way, but if you're arguing that this software would be better not existing at all -- as you might do of weapons -- then we have no common basis for this discussion. Write free music software if you wish to. I do. But if you're only doing it because you're sour about someone else's work, then you're not doing a good thing; don't delude yourself that you are. > If their livelihoods get tougher because of a world where work is > shared and exchanged between consenting and cooperating humans, so > much the better. Read that again, and tell me whether it really says what you meant. Chris
