     @olmitch the entire doujinshi industry is supported solely by a collective, silent agreement to look the other way.

     @jeffcliff @olmitch there were two things going on
     
     there were people that were making software for free and sharing it
     
     and there were people trying to sell it and were opposed to sharing
     
     the people that shared tapes generally didn't distinguish between tapes by people that wanted it to be shared, and tapes by people that did not. they just shared tapes.
     
     gates resented this and finally wrote an angry letter saying that software would never get big as long as thieves always siphoned their work.

     @jeffcliff @olmitch I actually agree with him here, none of the shit that people took for granted would have even been written without the profit incentive, Gates and co stepped up and then people just took their stuff for granted.

     @Moon @jeffcliff @olmitch I think it still would have been but the computing landscape would look *very* different because of the incentives feeding into it (a lot more academic, a lot more avowedly hobbyist, stuff like DECUS would have been the norm rather than the exception, Stallman tried recapturing some of this lightning in a bottle but ultimately the world he grew up in will never return)

     @allison @jeffcliff @olmitch truthfully if I would have been around at the time I would have supported the people sharing, on principle of the thing. but it would ahve taken a lot longer without people llike gates trying to make money

     @amerika @Moon @jeffcliff @olmitch I mean the particular academic-heavy research-heavy bent of computing before the emergence of shrinkwrapped commercial software and hardware debundling. FOSS is good but it's qualitatively culturally a completely different thing.

     I agree. What has replaced it has failed. We are getting back on track by eschewing the modern neurosis.
