Re: On considering digital copies as physical things...

I agree, it's not the place for this discussion, and I'm guilty of doing
it. I only say that everybody I've talked about here at Spain or in USA,
oficially or non-oficially they disagree with digital Intellectual Property
laws and requeriments, and us, as technicians, we have the power of design
and develop or not what our conscience dictates, not what others say to do
against our principles whatever the important they are or how much they pay.

Myself, for instance, I will remember until my last days that I accepted
just for ego to sabotage the system I developed because my boss demanded
it, or if not they would trash it and look for another to do it again from
scratch (as finally it hapenned also after doing it). Luckily it was not a
critical system, but I should have tell it to autorities instead of change
my system so it could work also in a situation where people was in danger.
