Random thoughts and half-remembered things that came about as I was reading the latest posts:

- Although the DRM issue is still trashing about, DRMs are going the way of the dodo. Their first and foremost proponents (music majors) are coming about and realizing they don't work and albeit slowly, they're letting that particular idiocy behind, period.

- wanting to prevent the copying of files (books, songs, videos, soft) is wanting to reintroduce the scarcity that exists in the physical world to the digital medium where the very idea makes no sense.

- Going back to the article and the various outraged reactions that arose because of it. My personal conviction is that because of the various abuse because of them, copyright's laws don't have much time left.
In any case they've been there for a pretty short time, so those who believe they're here forever delude themselves.
The best people who want copyright to keep being is for something like the Creative Commons licenses.
