The problem is that these are legal issues, and this just isn't the way
it works. I'm probably more radical than most on these issues -- I'd
like to see a lot of the teeth stripped from copyrights and patents, I'm
not even convinced that we should enforce copyrights under any
circumstances.
But just because I feel that way doesn't mean that I don't have to follow
the law.
