This same thing also applies to the so called entertainment industry. Both monopolies are being made irrelevant by customer generated software and content. The days of people having to put up with the DRM restricted, overpriced and under performing product are over. Since the big boys will not give customers what they want, customers are providing it themselves. It is too bad that this has to happen because big entertainment and big software has much more resources to develop new products than say the average garage studio or software hacker. However, rather than release innovative new products at prices customers are willing to pay, big entertainment and big software instead choose to spend their resources in choking out customer produced product. The same thing is happening with the telecommunications companies. No longer can they force everyone who uses long distance calling to pay exorbitant rates. Voice over IP will and is providing telecommunications much cheaper and in many cases free. Two sites below provide information on how to do this: http://www.voipbuster.com http://www.gizmoproject.com The drug and medical cartels are beginning to see the squeeze from herbal medicine (which is effective in treating and curing many maladies). I hope to see more garage and basement researchers come up with new and innovative remedies for curing diseases. I cannot remember the name of the family that did this, but one did so to bring an end to their son's suffering, since the drug companies were not interested in finding treatment for the kids rare disease. After months and months of research, the family was able to produce a remedy. This is how monopolies will be broken, customers working together to provide products for themselves at reasonable prices. The RIAA, MPAA, BSA, Microsoft, and many others are finding out the hard way that they cannot continue to screw those they depend on and not expect there to be a backlash.

Steve is well know for talking no-sense. Put it or shut up. Or are you scared Steve of a sleeping giant called IBM will the sue Microsoft out of business! I promise you if Microsoft wants a patent war they can have one, but open source has big funds then you ever have Microsoft. The party is over and they know it.

Why does "SCO" suddenly spring to mind? “Microsoft has suggested that the Linux operating system infringes some of its intellectual property, but it has never named the patents in question.”
