I didn't mean to hurt your feelings, Anne, and I apologise if I did. I just hear so much bad about Mr. Gates. Most of it is hogwash. I do not think that anyone's rights are going to be impinged by his digital archive. If he does the work to archive art treasures, why should he not get a cut of the use of those digital archives? That won't stop people from getting other sources of copies of the masters to use in their computers.
I always thought that he helped the other manufacturers more than hindered them. If you are the best, you should prosper. It is a contentious matter, I just thought I would stick up for him. Successful free enterprise is always mistaken for evil.
