Right. I'm not suggesting anyone should have sympathy for the RIAA, even though they are being wronged legally. Nor am I trying to argue that there are no valid reasons for downloading music. You obviously fall into the first group of people that don't think there's anything unethical about it, but then, you also behave ethically when you do it -- you delete it if you don't like it, or buy the album if you do. I like to do the same.

Well, I am starting to feel a bit embarrassed about the Hackers Hall of Fame thing - as I haven't actually done any real programming, apart from simple scripts, in at least 5 years. Sigh.

And anyway, I still remember the USENIX conference way back when I was totally swamped by people - who only wanted me to introduce them to Linus Torvalds

Umhh... So many other projects... The 12m pneumatic mast with webcam off my roof in central Amsterdam, the final full-IP-ing of my house (phones and doorbell remain non-IP:ized)... All the work on the vehicles... As soon as the weather turns bad, honestly....

Well, Linus managed to stay productive despite moving to California, so I guess that (among many other things) proves he's the Hacker's Hacker
