Of course, I understand that and I've read other posts of yours written from under that hat so I know the rules of this forum. One thing to keep in mind, however, is that whatever public policy is there, it must at the end of the day be beneficial to the society at large. I believe that the DRM-based model of compensation for the authours and publishers is very poor at both protecting their interests and at being beneficial to the society. So the sooner it crumbles, the better. I have no doubt that in 20 year's time at most, DRM distribution will be no more than a distant memory of a stone age period in digital history.

Exactly. No need to release it here.
