You got something to say, say it. You've clearly not been around here long enough to see the knock-down drag-out battles over this topic. You might want to just bow out now, but feel free to do some searches on copyright and drm to see what has been said before.

Actually I have been trying to withdraw from this thread because I do feel the resentment building up, but a few nuggets of ideas have popped up that made me want to do "my writer bit." It is a heady feeling! I really enjoyed the Faust post, the DRMsect post, and now the chasm picture post very much. That is my kind of thing, but probably it is like taking a 10 gauge shotgun and shooting into the kids duck pond at the petting zoo. I have kept my rocket launcher in the car though.
I will say again, that I have tried to be a lot more gentle on this topic than I feel, and have not run roughshod through the crowd.
Still the discourse upsets me too. It makes me think about things that hurt that I can't control. So anyway, I am trying to withdraw.
