Re: [microsound] The Pitfalls of DRM in 60 seconds

[Kyle Klipowicz <kyleklip@xxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting direction.  There are some things about free markets that
I really appreciate, but most people who advocate "free markets" tend
to shy away from.  For one, the pirate market, or Black Market is the
MOST free of all markets.

So if someone is truly a free market capitalist, then they should
encourage these "illegitimate" arenas of exchange:  ESPECIALLY with
regards to so-called "intellectual property," which is really an
artificial mechanism to control infinitely reproducible information.

This perplexes me because if Republicans are pro-capitalist and pro
"free market," then why do they vote on legislation to limit the
importing of less expensive drugs from another country?  And if they
are so anti-socialist, how come all of the ageing American farmer
Republicans balk whenever it is suggested that farm subsidies or
social security are discarded?

Just some noontime "wonderings."

I do, for the record purchase software, music, etc.  But I also enjoy
the ability to try it unrestricted before purchasing.
