Cory's wrong. He's mis-quoting and mistaken in his assertions of Brendan's assertions. Brendan said a lot of "should" "could" "would" as in "wouldn't it be nice" ... and then Cory says that Brendan is trying to destroy the Net, creativity, and has attempted to run him down in the street.
or something like that.
If I was writing this on a highly read and well-respected forum, I think I'd go back over my original sources once or twice. But I'm not so I won't.
Look, this is not just another copyright-knee-jerk rant -- this is out-and-out slander. While Cory's rants have worn thin at times, I generally have belived him over whatever corporate monstrosity he's taking on.
But in this case, we've got the words side by side, and Cory's demoning of someone who just said "yeah, we can't stop you from doing anything, but , gosh -- we'd really appreciate it if you could help us out" is depressing. And it makes me mis-trust Cory. That's sad.
