Hello everyone hope you guys had a great weekend. I just finished reading an nice little blog about creating an Software Bill of Rights. Its a great read even if it is not real but does has things in there we could use right away. Speaking for myself I support the idea of a Software Bill of Rights because recently i had to email EA just to get my install limit increased.

Anyway its a good read and here is a little peice of the blog

"I apologize in advance for the anger this essay reflects, but it is no longer possible for me to reserve my contempt for both sides of this unbelievable mess. A veritable host of ethically unthinking -- perhaps even uncaring -- persons eagerly violate copyright and other intellectual property laws today, in response to which corporations endorse still stupider measures for dealing with them. The resulting situation is one in which legitimate consumers are punished constantly, and seemingly without any recourse, while thieving pirates grow only bolder and actually attempt to justify their violations with rhetoric of "file sharing" and utilitarian arguments focusing solely on their one-sided, bankrupt view of proper remuneration.

As a matter of fact, both sides of this preposterous situation are wholly indefensible. The purpose of this essay is to defend that contention and argue for some sort of Software Bill of Rights (SBoR) for consumers. If my reader disagrees with my analysis I have but a simple request: (1) explain to me at what point(s) I have erred factually, and/or (2) identify the flaws in my logic. Do not take the time to write me because you have a mere opinion to offer. Opinions are like armpits; i.e., everybody has them and they mostly stink. I'm not interested in opinions about copyright violations or the corporate response; I'm interested only in the salient facts and whatever valid conclusions may be drawn from them."
