[Joe Forster/STA]

In 2100, our descendants will either be living on a planet run by monopolies - not democratrical goverments! - and you'll have to pay even each time you fart, for environment pollution (worst case), or will be laughing at us arguing about free or paid software as software will be, by default, free then and only user support will be charged for (best case).

[Edit] You see, many of you are talking about theft and digital rights (both that of the publisher and that of the customer) as if they were absolute and not the result of the constantly changing culture of mankind. Those people are seriously wrong, although this fact doesn't become apparent in a mere lifetime... Oofff, thus I spoke!
