Re: [PLUG] An interesting story with good points...
|
You know, I'm getting tired of the argument "it's too impractical to copy
DVDs". The same thing was said about about CDs, and now look. I can't
believe people are using this as an argument.
And to put a Linux spin on this: I think this lawsuit, win or lose, is
damaging to Linux and Open Source. The attitude taken by the defendents
does nothing to engender any kind of goodwill in the business community.
Oh, and before anyone says that Linux doesn't need them, look at your
history of the microcomputer -- it didn't become widely accepted until it
became a viable business platform.
