I absolutely reject (boy, do I use that expression alot around here) the
idea that our law should support some particular business model.

It's simply true that the people and public knowledge (through our use and
understanding of the personal computer, the greatest [most flexible]
invention of all mankind) have made that business model slightly more
difficult to pursue.

I don't care about what kind of contracts they like to set for one
another.  Those contracts SHALL NOT impinge upon my rights.  I am not a
party of or beneficiary to those contracts.
