Re: Re: Napster: stealing another's vs. giving away one's own

I continue to disagree With Stevan Harnad about separation of technical journals from the balance of the world. Copyright andpatents are bring the world to an end. They are responsible, in my opinion, for the segregation of the very wealthy from the balance of the population and the cause of wars of dispair like the ones going on today.

  We must find a way to pay authors for the hours they work per hour, not billions of time per effort.
