BusinessWeek on Open Source and Copy Protection

Posted by michael on from the assault-on-the-open-source-religion dept.

prostoalex writes "An article starting with the words "Forget about Bill Gates, folks. The biggest enemy of free software may be Senator Ernest F. Hollings" historically had a little chance of being published in a recognized business publication. In this case, though, Business Week (no registration) runs a detailed but straightforward explanation of how the new copyright bills could threaten free software and open source movements."

    Rude, yes. Obnoxious certainly. But...
    What else can you expect but obnoxiousness from a yankee? It's not for nothing that they get planes hurled into their buildings...

    Third, I don't believe we've ever done anything to deserve 9/11. It's worse than insulting to suggest that. Criminal doesn't begin to describe it.
    A good start to find out why you fuckenly deserved it would be to pull that head from your rectum. Never mind the big sucking sound.
