Fw: Attack of the Killer RIAA FUD App (Was Re: know people in .ut.us?)

[Bill Lindley]

A great part of the indifference to illegally copying commercial 
software stems from the scofflaw attitude perpetuated by speeding on our 
roadways. 

There is no reason that if 99% of cars on I-10 are speeding, that every 
one of them should not get a ticket.  I'd like to see magnetic loops and 
cameras used for this purpose -- one every mile.  Send those speeders a 
hefty ticket at the end of the month and we could reverse the State 
deficit... Maybe I should write my Senator...

But seriously, it is the law.  Just because "everyone does it" doesn't 
make it safe, or right.

Same with installing one CD of Windows on ten computers at the office.

We with principles have to explain to our clients that we simply can't 
support them unless they abide by Microsoft's usurous license terms.  
That's the only way they will understand the cost and time savings of 
Free Software.

p.s., I've even been told I should get a ticket if I'm the only driver 
on the road obeying the speed limit.  These must be the folks who want 
to criminalize Linux.
