Hi, Xcott Craver!

The worst thing that they will also put every non-government
security specialist into jail.

I am not christian.  But seems, the idea of Corporations, makeing
super-money without regarding human rights bring us "chip-per-person",
controlling all our trade operations (not only!) and Final Global War.

Very good parable.  If publishers don't want to find their place
in the new world, why Dmitry must suffer?  There are lot of
publishers, not so lazy, as AAP.  That really want to
_publish_books_for_readers_.

May be, our fathers were wiser, than we.  After Dmitry will be free
I think about "Software is NOT a book" campaign.  Explaining to
people the difference between the book (old technology) and
software (modern technology) and how the world benifit from
scientific results of XX century.
