Your point is valid in a very limited way. The richer and poorer dilemma, has a more real urgency when you mention a society's way of distributing wealth.
The balance of a solid democracy in first world countries, controls the concentration of power and wealth to a certain extent. This is a direct factor in social equilibrium. Sure the rich are exorbitantly rich but the poor in most cases cover the basic needs.
Contrast this with the reality of third world countries when most certainly all power and wealth
its on the side of a tiny percentage of the population.
In America, its the middle class who bears the burden of supporting both the very poor and the very rich.
This has to do more with observing reality than with any ideology at this point.
A measure of a well balanced society, is by far, the equality and access to the wealth it produces.
RIAA's legal dept. really needs to rethink its strategy, and take a chill-pill.
Hey, they can get those online imported from Canada as well......way cheaper!!
For all of those who have silently solidarized with all the emerging talent openly exploited and ripped off by record companies, its fascinating to observe how RIAA is working really hard at antagonizing public opinion against them. This will ultimately hurt them big. Are they really the ones to give lessons in morality ?? We will need to briefly look at the way the have been overcharging for music that costs them proportionally little to produce. Should I feel sorry they can no longer inflate their bank accounts at rate they used to ??
Im all for artist support, but all against supporting the greed of parasitic middlemen.
Keep up the good work RIAA.
Instead it is more likely that Microsoft will become like IBM - "still huge but not the dominant force anymore", he said.
Interesting pararalel. This sentence could be interpreted more than one way but its interesting how by implication he seems to dismiss the importance of IBM's support, something that is given way too much weight and considering the reliability of Corporate alliances, one day could very well backfire.
Overall, a pretty dull interview, I could almost hear him yawning.
My guess is that script kiddies salivate over this type of information. Having read similar books, they are basically how-to tutorials, a capable System Administrator will likely know about this issues or learn them elsewhere.
Oh well, since it makes the Authors some good bucks....I guess thats Security for them.
