I'm sick of this. This is my last response to you. You bring nothing to
the discussion but grief and a want-want-want attitude. Do your own
reading, do your own research. If you're going to defend the copyright
status-quo as you perpetually do then do so from an informed position -
not half-assed guesswork and the propaganda of big media companies.

Educate yourself. Read about the Library of Congress. About why it was
set up. I called it a "precedent"; it was the at-the-time solution to
this escrow issue you're whingeing about over software - but for books.
