Some Dangerous Copyright Myths

“Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.” - A. Einstein

BACKGROUND: I originally published this piece at digifreedom.net in September 2006. Later on, for several reasons stopped using that website, so this piece went offline. I put it back online in January 2014, split in several parts for easier reading (the introduction is right below the index):

Why 'greener' computing is coming soon to Europe, part 2

(historical note: this is the second part (the first is here) of an article I wrote for IT Manager’s Journal, which published it at the URL http://management.itmanagersjournal.com/management/04/12/07/2312226.shtml?tid=84 on December 14, 2004. When I rediscovered the original text on my hard drive, on December 29, 2013, I put it back here with the original date as reference, since that whole website was closed years ago)

These are the most interesting passages of that piece (emphasis mine):

What you just read is the presentation in the Journal of Biourbanism of an essay of mine, of which this post is just a summary.
