I love osnews little version, with all the directories in the path displayed at the top, the idea being you could click on them to go back to that directory.
Example:
user clicks root, stuff, music
(root, stuff, music, / appears at the top)

user decides he needs to go back to root, clicks root
(top now says: /, root)

It could really work, and be really useful.

Keep at it gnome boys!

Yes your original post was a summation, but it also offered a suggestion as to how things might be remedied through the implementation of a "tax". The point being that a band-aid tax will not solve the problem because the problem is the perception that copying information is morally wrong. Which it is most definitly not.
