[WikiEN-l] Reflection on HD DVD

[daniwo59 at aol.com]

I agree. Kat hit the nail on the head. It's time to go back to basics and  
remember what we are really here for--building a free (as in freedom)  
encyclopedia to serve as a resource for people everywhere. By doing that,  we are the 
true activisits, not skirmishers in the copyright battlefield. We are  
challenging the assumption that copyright = quality. Let's get back to our  core 
mission, which will do more to weaken the restraints of copyright than any  
single-day squabble and yesterday's news ever will be.

Right  on, Kat. Wikipedia is not about this sort of "civil
disobedience", which is  not helping us build an encyclopedia or
increasing the circle of free  content. Posting this silly key all over
the place just encourages the  companies to flex their legal muscles
and find better encryption methods.  What we need to be doing is be
consumers and supporters of free content and  free, unencumbered
software. This silliness isn't helping our mission, and  it isn't
helping free content.
