,----[ Quote ]
| Negotiators in Switzerland have agreed on 24 points nominally aimed
| at making Intellectual Property issues easier for developing
| countries to deal with.

|
| Love gives credit all around, but I don't think it would have been
| possible save for two facts:
|
| 1. Open source has proven a business model exists that lets
| customers own software.
|
| 2. Apple has shown that in demanding DRM publishers lose
| control of their own distribution channels.
|
| In other words we weren't being nice to foreigners. We're finally
| admitting that copyright absolutism doesn't work. And that's a
| very important story.
