The writer continues saying that the DeCSS (*) versus Hollywood case
is ridiculous. The author of the program hasn't made anything illegal.
Or if he _has_ done (if the outcome of the trial is, that he has
committed a crime), then also VCR's are illegal, because you
potentially could maybe make illegal copies of some copyrighted
material with a video recorder. Internet is illegal. Lending cd's to
your friend would be considered illegal, because your friend _might_
make illegal copies of it.
The Napster case has exactly the same ridiculousness, as I've said
earlier. Since when it has been illegal to make things that
potentially can break laws? Gun factories are not illegal, as far as I
know. How come Napster is?
Seems that people don't care a shit about their freedom of speech
anymore, so why do I even bother... If they don't care, they deserve
what they'll get (or lose - to be exact).
