May I right a few wrongs here -

I never said Amazon had anything else than a vertical monopoly. Please do not confuse what this stands for with something else and then bring it against me, because In your opinion I have said something I havent.

I have never said in here, that Amazon is "the devil" or "a demon".

I have never said, that kfx is the only format Amazon allows.

And I have taken extensive care to argue for the point I am making not only from a perspective that you could identify as "european" or "german" (pulled that one straight out of a casestudy a few pages back).

Also - I dont understand, why putting german in front of scientist - all of a sudden is supposed to do something to the perception of the argument. Ey, mate.

Also I dont argue, that "something might happen in the future" - Amazon has established every part of their new ecosystem concept in the here and now, while - you guys chose not to have the debate, about what was happening.

So - please, stop making up the things you expect to hear out of my mouth, and please stop trying to attack me on personal grounds. Also please stop suggesting different backgrounds or professions I might have, and people I could great on your behalf - because apperantly I am a very cosmopolitan, german, member of a collection society, preaching against modern notions and the devil.

Curiously I am not.

This is just a short paragraph to establish that I dont want this discussion to be held in that way.

Also - the process Amazon established, is already set up. I think I will have to repeat that a few times, before it gets universally recognized...

edit: We can talk about the difference of DRM and proprietary formats next if you want. How they intertwine - what they prevent, what they allow - I see myself to be affluent on that subject as well.
