I have to say, I have just lost a lot of respect for id software now. Firing a talented employee just because he supports an opposing view is not cool. I am surprised that John allowed this to happen. I am sure there is more to this story that what is being said publicly, but it is starting to seem that id software isn't the geek nirvana it was once thought of. *Egos* are a bad thing for a company. Just look at Ion Storm. Jeffrey Paul
I believe the universities are more intrested in preserving the bandwith for academic puporses, and that is the reason for the ban on Napster, not to ban MP3 trading. System Admins are not policemen, they just want to assure that every student has the ability to enjoy the bandwith many of us take for granted.
