Re: OT: An Interesting Read About Bit-Torrents
You missed one of my points: I am not licensing the cd, I am licensing the software.
Also, the whole licensing scheme (To the best of my knowledge) arose because people argued that, because they had bought the software, they had the rights to make copies and distribut them. This is absurd, as is the whole licensing scheme. Aiken's arguements focused on how it should work; I was pointing out how it worked.
Your point about copying software leads to the question of wether I owe the company that made the cd copy I bought .99c for the cd I would otherwise have bought. The software is not involved, as I already demonstrated I have a license to use it.
