In recent years, there's been a lot of people clamoring to reform and restrict intellectual-property rights. It started out with just a few people, but now there are a bunch of advocates saying, "We've got to look at patents, we've got to look at copyrights." What's driving this, and do you think intellectual-property laws need to be reformed?По ссылке из Boing Boing; там же восхитительные пропагандистские картинки, на заметку всем сторонникам антикопирайта:
No, I'd say that of the world's economies, there's more that believe in intellectual property today than ever. There are fewer communists in the world today than there were. There are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises. They don't think that those incentives should exist.
And this debate will always be there. I'd be the first to say that the patent system can always be tuned--including the U.S. patent system. There are some goals to cap some reform elements. But the idea that the United States has led in creating companies, creating jobs, because we've had the best intellectual-property system--there's no doubt about that in my mind, and when people say they want to be the most competitive economy, they've got to have the incentive system. Intellectual property is the incentive system for the products of the future.

В интервью Гейтса, конечно, копирайт копирайтом, но меня вот это больше пугает: "The boundary between what's game playing, what's socialization and what's communication--you will have really broken down the barriers there."
То есть реальная Матрикс хэз ю. Хотя, с другой стороны, если раса зомби так разрастется, то сколько пространства для живых людей освободится!

And other than Apple, all those player makers are signing up to work inside the Windows PlaysForSure ecosystem.
Ecosystem!
И вот тоже:
We didn't do Xbox just to do a video game; we did it to be part of our vision of the digital lifestyle, and with the next generation, we really get to go there. In the first generation, we had one simple goal, which was to establish credibility as a great video game platform. We've done that.
Прямо какой-то сатанизм из трэш-муви.
