I was a fan of yours at Hot Wired and glad when you made the move to slashdot, having just mad the conversion to slashdot my self just before you arived.
that said, this article sucked. You are vague in many places: hacking/cracking and confusing copying with copy right violation, are just two examples.
I think you were trying to ask if programers need to take responsibility for how people use the tech we unleash but you never realy make that clear.
Here's a hint that you should know, this is the web break it down. For example ask the single question: "What do you do when management makes the wrong ethical decsion?" And see what slash doters have to say.

note the words single-user server-side. Now what is the point of a single user server? They are going to charge for it else the free beer version wouldn't be limited to one user.
Not free (A lousy 2x increase?)

Up until today I would have agreeded with you cause that's what they have been saying on the JDC discution boards, but that's not what they are saying on the site today. If you want to use it you will have to pay.
