I have to agree. This is even more disappointing as the government is cutting social funds. Here in Berlin they are cutting the low-priced metro ticket for people with low income, investments in culture and education, etc.
The economy lobbyists have such a strong influence on politics.. that's really sad.
I'm following the whole mp3 discussion now for a longer time. I don't think record companies should make money of music. I don't even think artists should make that much money of their music. I don't think musicians should start making music because they want to make money or even get rich. I think being an artist means to be free, and I don't think you're free if you _have_ to produce music which fits to a common standard of music to survive.
I believe that one of the reasons why there aren't more Linux drivers is that drivers are incompatible with every new kernel release, so binary-only drivers don't make much sense. And binary-only drivers are the only way most vendors want to publish their drivers.

Mozilla is also available for Windows so I don't know why this is a reason to switch to Unix/Linux
rpm -qa|grep ximian|rpm -e --force --nodeps didn't test it..
