@Barry. Even Copyright law cannot be freely discussed. The moderators do not allow anything which even appears to condone piracy in any circumstances, including in the area of academic publishing. It is unfortunate but even some degree of paranoia can be justified here, as some copyright proponents show a propensity to threaten and even sue even in circumstances where their cases are of dubious merit. Yes, we can discuss copyright as I have done in my post, but we must also bear the limits imposed on such discussion in these forums clearly in mind.
However, I think Thasaidon was referring to a discussion of capitalism and economic systems in general which I think clearly do belong in the political forums if they are to be pursued.
