The Case of the Compressed Image
,----[ Quote ]
| The Open Source Movement weakens the classic model of property rights
| by presenting an alternative, viable, vibrant, model which does not
| involve over-pricing and anti-competitive predatory practices. The
| current model of property rights encourages monopolistic behavior,
| non-collaborative, exclusionary innovation (as opposed, for instance,
| to Linux), and litigiousness. The Open Source movement exposes the
| myths underlying current property rights philosophy and is thus
| subversive.
