The Crime of Sharing

John Perry Barlow has an editorial piece on recent developments in law and file-sharing networks. Most slashdot readers have read this sort of thing before, but sometimes it's nice to see how different people approach the same sort of persuasive argument, to bolster your own persuasive ability.

Great editorial, but...

I think the editorial is right now, but I don't see its anything different or detailed than what we've arguing about on here for years.

It seems to be a religious debate at this point. Either you support the idea that people should be able to share books, musics and other entertainment or you don't.

But please, lets stop calling it "intellectual property". The phrase is an oxymoron.
