Shane:
But keep in mind that even as it becomes more difficult to prosecute GPL-violators, it also becomes more difficult and impractical to find instances of breech of copyright for proprietary software. Thus the nature of the artform is inherently and is becoming more prominantly opposed to any property right enforcement at all
I think the exact opposite is true. The commercial software industry is currently busy re-engineering its offerings about the Web services "apps on tap" model, led by Microsoft .NET and Sun ONE. This means that the user will no longer need copies of the software locally at all, and will instead access code at a central server farm over authenticated network links. Proprietary software will therefore be billed just like (and probably co-extensively with) telecommunications services. Kermit _______________________ http://www.oekonux.org/
