Robert,
well, since, i have received a pdf copy of the Christensen paper. i
am willing to send it along to any small quantity of people who ask.
i realize the AES would rather that people get the paper from them
and pay for it, but if the cost is $20 (for non-members), they cannot
expect a lot of compliance.
Is that not like saying "It is ok to use an illegal copy of software
[x] because it is so expensive they cannot expect a lot of people to
buy it"?
Or do you find this situation to be different?
i'm not even saying that "It is ok...". i'm just saying that i'm
willing to do it.
i'm sorta utilitarian about stuff like this.
i duped some songs offa 3 different CDs of Christmas music and put it on
a single CD and gave a copy or two to some friends whom i thought would
like a break from all of the commercial dreck (like Frosty the Snowman)
that one is exposed to when in a store during this season. i am
convinced that, if anything, it might increase the possibility that
someone might want to buy the music, but if not, i think the sum total
of satisfaction of persons in this life has increased. it's better than
if they were stuck listening to dreck.
L8r,
