Ooops... The _interesting_ part was further below:
"Most people have no problems with copyright law at its
heart. It's one of the simplest concepts on earth: you
get paid for what you create.
But the people in the middle of the publishing industry --
the managers who don't do the creating but only profit
on the reproduction, distribution, and marketing -- they
don't want to release control of their process.
(It must be sad to have such low-esteem about your
function that you must resort to unethical tactics in an
attempt to preserve your job. If publishers actually offer
value to artists, that service should still be valuable
even if the publishing paradigm changes.)
These people are so desperate to retain control that in
the guise of maintaining copyright they are, in effect,
destroying free speech as we know it."
The writer uses the Hollywood vs. DeCSS case as an example.
