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."

    We need this sort of law if we are to prevent another Sept. 11th.

    The only people who benefit from open source are hackers, pirates and terrorists.
