☝ Wormtongue’s Lobbyists

Posted on May 13, 2011 by Simon Phipps

As Glyn Moody discussed yesterday, the Business Software Alliance (BSA) annual report on “piracy” is out. I hate that usage – the word “piracy” refers to about the worst crime humanity is able to conceive, involving theft by intimidation, hostage-taking, rape and murder, and it is cynical marketing of the most disgusting kind for the BSA to continue to equate it with the unauthorised use of copyright materials, perhaps under circumstances their own members have created.

On this topic, I’ve taken today’s link post and expanded it on it over on ComputerWorldUK – take a look.
