How to answer harm without harm? The reality is I have been punched, did the
punch hurt me? Now should I punch back? Did the punch reach through and hurt
my genetic line? If I punch, will it affect anything?
You know David, most of these people in these companies actually think they are
doing a good thing. I have been an Open Source advocate, for a
practical personal agenda and not a political/philosophical one. So I saw all
this passion on both sides that is purely from each thinking they are doing the
"right" thing. Perhaps it is fear of what the other side will do that creates
these flames. Companies are afraid of losing money and market share. Creators
are afraid of losing creative freedom and the ability to have channels to
distribute their creations. These are not actually related at all, other than
the same set of laws are being debated.

What!?! Do you mean that poets are not capable of making Art? And isn't
imagination something to be avoided (as you told Eryk), so impotence would be a
good thing?
