Now we are getting somewhere.
We have moved beyond the idea of ownership, how can you/anyone honestly say that this "thing" (MS Windows) was created by "you", when it actually is dependent on the infinite? To quote Mr. Sagan, "If you wish to bake an apple pie from scratch, you must first invent the universe".
Switzerland, or rather someone who lives in that area, or a group of people in that area have decided that the furtherance of human understanding and the acquisition of knowledge is more important for the long term (permaculture) than a short term financial gain for MS.
The preceding paragraphs contained two distinct reasons for the
abolishment of copyright, they are both equally good.
What is money???????????? If we stopped using it what would happen?
