Cryptogram: Palladium Only for DRM

[Peter]

Hi Pete - I'm confused. Are you suggesting that I should enjoy these
freedoms on SW which I don't have legal rights to?

If not, then I don't see how any of these freedoms are affected by Pd. If
you are suggesting that *all* SW should be made free, well that has nothing
to do with Pd, does it?
