It seems to me that by leaving NAI, PKZ is giving them an incentive to re-open the source to PGP to prove that there are no backdoors, since they no longer have his personal stamp of approval as an inside reviewer.
More importantly, you CAN prove that you DID NOT KNOW that illegal content was being stored on your machine, and that it was beyond any reasonable effort for you to go snooping around trying to figure out what actually was there.
It's sad to see that you think that people have no rights. You would think that in a country that began with a Declaration of Independence, a Constitution with a Bill of Rights, and words like "Give me liberty or give me death," people would have a backbone.
Money has NO morality. It is simply a tool used by people. *People* have morality, and they choose their own destinies. Money is amoral like all other human creations.
Corporations don't serve the national interest, they serve their own interests. This is why we have laws to control them. Now you're telling us that we shouldn't even use those laws that we have on the books, as weakened as they may be? Don't be ridiculous.
I won't cry for you when your company moves to Mexico or Costa Rica or Japan, though I'll pity your coworkers when you sell them out with talk of how great corporations are! Even as the management rips the rug right out from under the feet of those that have so loyally slaved for them, you'll still have the mistaken impression that corporations have "morals".
No, actually this would not work. Why? When they jump up, the earth is pushed in the opposite direction. Then they fall down, the earth is pulled back toward them by the force of their gravity. Everything ends up back where it started. (Although it might cause a big vibration, perhaps.) This idea is based on cartoon physics, not real phyisics.
Normally I would agree with this viewpoint. However, mining has always been among the world's deadliest professions, usually the occupation of slaves in the ancient world. I don't see why it's such a great thing now that people have "jobs" doing work that used to be considered unfit for free people to do. I think this is one of the best possible uses of robot technology. A contrast is mechanized farming, which puts people out of work, destroys the land, and produces lower-quality food. Robotic mining, on the other hand, has the potential to do a better, safer job of mining. I would think that it might also serve as a good alternative to more destructive techniques such as strip mining (although I don't know enough about mining to say if this is really true).

What about China? After all, they already do lots of dealing in copyrighted music.
