I should also note, I call it a church because it's basically a dogma at the root. The idea that you can sell information, or worse, rent the "right" to use it. It's like inception for abstractions. Nested concepts. It really is a kind of quasi-organized madness, and isn't that what every cult is?

Yea, that’s a point I didn’t mention, planned obsolescence. IPL causes pollution, trash that didn’t need to be, trying to apply the software model to hardware, trying to get paid per month instead of once. Every single toxin multiplied because pointless manufacture of trash on a delay. And the inflated demand that goes with it, more truck and train and boat runs that didn’t need to happen both in and out. And all the deaths attached, spills and crashes, and needless exposure. Gonna add this as a comment, thank you.

FOSS can't live in the same world as the church of intellectual property law, it will be corrupted like this or simply consumed. China has the right idea, ignore it entirely. Build an army and say "make me."
