Interesting article by your friend and mine Richard Stallman on the ridiculous anti-sharing stances of the music industry. I thought this would be an interesting read because the book industry seems to be in the same position the Music industry was ten years ago with their swings-and-roundabouts approach to DRM.

When record companies make a fuss about the danger of "piracy", they're not talking about violent attacks on shipping. What they complain about is the sharing of copies of music, an activity in which millions of people participate in a spirit of cooperation. The term "piracy" is used by record companies to demonize sharing and cooperation by equating them to kidnaping, murder and theft.
