Bootstrap Protocol - By Dan GillmorMercury News Technology ColumnistNews and views, culled and edited from my online eJournal(www.dangillmor.com):COPYRIGHT PIETY, NOT RESPECT: Sony, Disney, AOL and the other bigHollywood movie studios have set up a cleverly named site,www.respectcopyrights.org, as part of a campaign (also including TVcommercials and in-theater pitches) aimed at convincing us all of asingle point -- that it's wrong to infringe on copyrights.Well, of course it is, especially when the purpose is to getsomething of value for nothing or deprive someone else of what he orshe has legitimately earned. But in its typical overstated way, thefilm branch of the entertainment cartel is demanding a whole lotmore, too.http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/6364424.htm
