I agree with this also. We could use cryptolopes (a file with public-key
encryption which u need the randomly generated pass to open) to allow the
selling of software over the net and have the codes to use the software
encrypted into windows 95 registry upon installation but not shown to the
user. I say all info should be free in cyberspace except stuff like webzines
and news which are continually updated and brand new software which you can
make a profit off of because it is difficult to obtain right off and another
source of profit for the programmer would be private industry due to all the
licenses.
