    Indeed. These popular, sold out shows are the ones performed by, wait for it, big name movie actors.

    All in all, I can see how having a film star helps in the beginning, but it looks like you've overstated your case by a huge margin, to the point where it looks demonstrably false.

    To answer, though, a responsibility to society is not the same thing as liability for another's (or society's) actions. I might be willing to take some responsibility for society if society agreed not to hold me responsible for things done by others which are out of my control

    OK, I'll slow down... :-) You are right, it is a great difference between social responsibility and liability for other people's actions. The main problem that the original article points to, is that the mere threat of a lawsuit is enough to cripple people's expressions, and that's a real threat. It means that what you do can very well be legal, and even be very moral, but as long as you run the risk of pissing somebody big off, you have to be careful what you do. And, lawyers have a social responsibility here too.... :-) Now, as none of us are superhumans, one should not be held liable for outcomes which are impossible for us to foresee. However, in the case of Napster, it seems like they clearly stated that the primary use for Napster would be unauthorized distribution. I might argue that any distribution of art is good, and therefore one should not prosecute Napster creators, but that's a different matter.

    It's entirely possible that all the developers felt this way, too. Assuming this is so, since they personally saw nothing objectionable with what they were doing, does this absolve any personal responsibility they may have? Doesn't this imply the need to define a "common good"?

    I guess so.... :-) I know, it's hard. However, social responsibility also means that one has to take a step back once in a while, and ask oneself "what am I doing?" Then, my point is merely that the one who is most qualified to foresee the consequences of the stuff one is doing, also carries the most responsibility. A nuke-bomb creator is the most qualified to see what it will do when it explodes (while he might not appreciate the social change that comes with it). A lawyer is most qualified to see that filing a suit may cripple expression, the computer professional who is writing CSS is the most qualified to see that it will make fair use difficult. Therefore, these carry a huge social responsibility. I'm saying, hackers don't run away from it, assume it, and grow with it! Others might not, hackers should.

    Well, while I'm going off topic, let me recommend a theatre piece called "Copenhagen". It is about Heisenberg's visit to Bohr in Copenhagen during WWII, where it is thought that they discussed the possibility of a German nuclear bomb. AFAIK, it is playing on Broadway (see the link), in London, in Copenhagen, and will play here in Oslo this autumn.
