Why copyright damage limits don't hurt FLOSS
,----[ Quote ]
| There's a move afoot to argue that copyright infringement penalties should
| bear a rational relationship to the value of what was infringed. You might
| think that this could harm Free/Libre/Open Source Software (FLOSS), but I
| don't think so. Here's why.

Paul McCartney's Confused About The Pirate Bay
,----[ Quote ]
| He says that as if there is anyone out there who claims that artists
| shouldn't get "rewarded" for doing something great. The problem is no one is
| saying that. We're just debating how they will (not should) get rewarded.
| And, of course, plenty of artists who embrace things like The Pirate Bay are
| getting rewarded for doing so. Claiming that they're not is simply false and
| suggests ignorance of the subject.

RIAA Brief Attacks Free Software Foundation
,----[ Quote ]
| In their proposed response, the RIAA lawyers personally attacked The Free
| Software Foundation, Ray Beckerman (NewYorkCountryLawyer), and NYCL's
| blog, 'Recording Industry vs. The People'. The 9-page response (PDF) — 4
| pages longer than the document to which it was responding — termed the FSF an
| organization 'dedicated to eliminating restrictions on copying,
| redistribution, and modifying computer programs', and accused the FSF of
| having an 'open and virulent bias against copyrights' and 'blatant bias'
| against the record companies.
