Too bad it's so ideologically stilted to be laughably irrelevent.

I think Jon's been reading too much of the good judge's findings; the real world is not quite so static. The idea that one source could control the flow of information today is equally laughable. You don't get more customers by limiting their options, unless of course, that's exactly what they want.

There are too many alternative and competing sources of information for this to be a credible theory. Slashdot is a perfect example of an alternative source and is only one of dozens that I utilize daily to get my info, on and off the Net. There is nothing that promises that this will be successful or lasting. Each party could tire of one another soon enough and this will only be so much wasted energy.

You can engineer the future no more so than you can the past.
