Hi!
There seems to be a new film called "The Digital Tipping Point" having
a homepage at
http://www.digitaltippingpoint.com/
From this page:
The competition between open source software and heavy handed
proponents of proprietary software ultimately comes to the question,
"What kind of society do we want?" Technology is legislation,
meaning that if you accept a type of technology, you accept certain
types of social relationships which come packaged with that
legislation. With nuclear power comes nuclear waste. With solar
power, home owners have the option of running their meter backwards
on sunny days. With proprietary software comes the BSA, forced
searches of one's home or business, and sky high monthly rental fees
for software.
Unfortunately the navigation of the site seems to be included in this
piece of Flash and seemingly doesn't work with Firefox/Mozilla :-( .
Mit Freien Grüßen
Stefan
