You don't want to use the idea, you want to use my implementation of said idea.
You want all the rewards with none of the effort to put it simply.
You are right no one is forcing me. But then again no one is forcing you to be a thief seeing as how there is so much free stuff available. Why not use it instead?
Do you or do you not support making it legal for people to pass around copy-written materials totally legally?
What I can't wrap my head around is why you and those like you think they have the right to use that which isn't theirs in the first place.
What is funny and/or sad is that your website has the following on it "All content on this site copyright © Peter Brett 2000 - 2009 (unless otherwise specified). All rights reserved."

If only Microsoft made a product that allowed you to control what updates got sent to your systems. They could call it something like Windows Server Update Services.
Oh! they do make such a thing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_Server_Update_Services
Then your experience is so limited as to be nonexistent. Oracle, IBM, Sun(RIP) and nearly every other major software house on the planet has released some sort of emergency batch.

I like Windows so please harass me too!

Why is that?
Why do you think you have the right to use my programs without my consent immediately after I release them?
"legalise use of copyright works where no money changes hands"
So anyone who wants to can use my work as long as they don't pay each other for it.
Sorry but your idea of turning me into your slave because I am a programmer doesn't exactly appeal to me.

Stole? Are you insane? I paid for what I used for training or took what was freely available with the consent of those who created it/
And how does one make programming a "Live Show"?
Then how do you suggest I pay my bills?
15k per server? Something tells me you haven't priced servers recently.
So you want me to work for free?
How is it just for you to take my work to use as you wish for free?
Because you don't pay the full cost of my work when you license it while you are fully paid for each hour you work.
Why should you be able to use my work for free?
Then why are you talking about things you don't know about as if you do?

You didn't limit your original post to just Linux now did you?
Then your experience is so limited as to be nonexistent. Oracle, IBM, Sun(RIP) and nearly every other major software house on the planet has released some sort of emergency batch.
Sharia Law?
Are you sane?
Explain how you know that Linux would be a better choice for me please.
Why not? Why shouldn't I install Silverlight?
Like other operating systems don't have patches?
Then release your work as Public Domain it really isn't that hard to do.
Because it upsets the I want everything for free crowd on /.
