But I'll give him credit because he basically did say it's good for the world.
Unfortunately, almost every discussion these days from "authorities" is so focused on the business and profit side of things that they can't see the forest for the trees. The publishing industry is just as selfish as the recording and movie industries (in broad terms, but there are surely exceptions). It's all about power and money and they want it all. But let's not forget to balance it with the good of all!
