Re: The subject line is irrelevant these days

Mark, sorry for being off topic all the time, after this comment, I'm
leaving the list. I don't think my presence is helping not even the side I

But before I leave, allow me to say a last thing: the copyright has been
used to monopolize the markets, so why should we believe that EME is going
to open the market at all?

My excuses for the incoveniences.
