Copying troubles

Our brave new world: Copying troubles : “CD duplication company Software Images has refused a request to copy 500 Linux software CDs for a Linux Installfest this Saturday, because of concerns the job would breach a contract with Microsoft and infringe intellectual property rights.”
Sometimes, a part of me thinks that all of this tightening copyright/IP stuff will right itself and allow for an injection of common sense…creating a model that works for producers and consumers. Then I burst into laughter.
