	Yeh, right.

	It's a freaking joke invented by Hollywood Pigopolists to
protect their Malibu Mansions.

	Bullshit on the first two, 'you're right' on the last.

	As always, Creators will get shit-all, pennies if anything,
and the Moguls will get fat off the rest.

	I didn't know tax evasion was part of DRM.

	Ah, yes, the 'open source business model'.  Which means 'Get
paid nothing for your programming, and find some other way to make a
living and pay your bills.  Sell advertising, sell printing, whatever.
Great plan.

	Solid business proposal there, for sure !!!!  Not.
