As for "sharing", Mr Ellison shares nothing that comes from his labour. What do you want? To get sued?
LOL I meant his using an old Olympia typewriter instead of a computer, anti-technology slant. And I can sort of understand his 'wanting to be paid' because most of those rants are against the 'corporations' he worked for like MGM, Warner. What I never understood was his attacking the little guy with the same kind of fervour as he did the big guy, and also the whole litigious nature of the American law system is not something I can get behind.

Are they DRM-free at Fictionwise, if so I might give him another chance. I've been known to change my mind from time to time.
