So many words, so completely clueless... Why is it that people like to fight strawmen so much? None of the points that this guy wrote address anything from Madore's proposal (except maybe the 16-hex-digit name, which would indeed be better replaced by a hash). -----
I wanted to say that I'm going to quit working on anything crypto-related, if the "professionals" are so utterly clueless. But then again, maybe he's just an exception... [See the other replies to this, I'm not going to point all the flaws AGAIN.]
You fucking capitalist idiot, the artist will get MORE money if we eliminate the publisher from the loop (not to mention the state). I am also a fucking capitalist, btw. Not to mention that if you only treat the economic argument, their loss is ZERO (I couldn't afford to pay those prices anyway) and my gain is greater than zero, so there's a clear economic advantage in breaking the copyright. Uf, those damn self-proclaimed capitalists who know nothing about economics... Note: I love counter-arguments. Please also cc them to marcel@aiurea.com. Thanks.
