"Figuratively", meaning what exactly? What I don't understand is, when the
music/entertainment industry seeks to protect their copyrights, they become
big evil corporate bullies. Yet, you complain that the software industry
does not go the same distance to protect their rights. Many here I assume
are developers, yet vehemently and unexplicably oppose copyrights. Is it a
not-built-here syndrome? Would tables be turned if it were the software
industry that united to protect their rights?
