- How soon will you see MS in Linux? (RH?) skin?
-
Can you use your pocket to vote more efficiently?
Proprietary models = higher pay, always.
Cooperation = pay the lowest.
Summary:
Instead of paying MS fees ? save money by using COOPERATION.
Note: you (businesses) anyway pay MS fees, so ? you have nothing to lose.
First step ? eliminate any attempt of Linux proprietarization by putting it under umbrella of an International UN-like organization instead of companies.
The result ? NOBODY will own Linux but EVERYBODY. It means NO POWER ABUSE (no high prices, competition instead of monopoly, etc.). The model we have now sooner or later will be turned into ABUSE of POWER (is that what you need?).
A small portion of fees you pay to MS ? you?ll pay to UN-Linux and get everything you need for the fraction of what you pay now.
We should face the reality ? pirating is not good but our society is not good either. Thus, reconsider pirating as a NORMAL product of SICK society. If MS, RIAA and Co. are fighting with piracy so hard ? should we do the same to them and our politicians?
So, what to do? ? to go to war or to have a deal with?
By the way, FREE pirating was one of the biggest forces that made MS so popular.
UN-Linux is a necessary FIRST step to resolve this problem. Not many people can afford all software they need but corporations can. With the above mentioned International UN-Linux model, corporations pay much less for software and the majority of ordinary users could get software for no extra cost (as it was in the old DOS-times of pirating) but LEGALLY, all Linux developers would be paid, everybody will have benefits except Bill Gates.
I need to say to our politicians: ?Stop manufacturing criminals? (P2P became the biggest source of criminals). You left people no choice.
UN-Linux prevents monopolizations and dictatorships. Plus, UN-Linux drastically boosts productivity and creativity.
Communism? No. It?s Common Sense ? the next stage of our society. (MS and Apple are Stalin-like models).
What we have now is NOT CAPITALISM. It?s dangerous GLOBALISATION - pre-WW III stage.
Do something now, while you still can. - Posted by: Vily Clay Posted on: 05/05/04 You are currently: a Guest | Members login | Terms of Use
