Well said. Let's stand up for consumer rights. Here's another question: is it unethical to read someone else's copy of the newspaper, when the newspaper publisher loses your money as a result? According to CL, software should be like a book - only one person can read a copy at the same time. Quite right. And I can lend the book when I'm not reading it to whomever I like without referring back to the publisher. I can sell it secondhand or give it away without reference back to the publisher as well. And I should be able to do the same with software. It's like a book.
