Disingenuous Comments... Amy Harmon's New York Times story, "Piracy, or Innovation? It's Hollywood vs. High Tech" was one of the more balanced pieces I've seen. After years of fear-mongering and legal action by the entertainment industry, it's good to see high-tech leaders like Andy Grove of Intel and Steve Jobs of Apple stepping up to the plate to give legislators and the public a more balanced view. [O'Reillynet] It's a nice read. As Tim O'Reilly skewers the entertainment industry. The software industry has survived piracy and thrived. The entertainment industry could do the same...but it would require that they think, that they find new avenues and new models. Sadly they are too busy trying to protect the practices of the past. Those who are seduced by their own rituals, are doomed...mj 11:06:47 AM
