[Upd-discuss] a longer term strategy for promoting the public domain?

[Richard Stallman]

	Bringing attention to issues is worthwhile - but intrinsic to this 
    is being responsive as opposed to becoming an impetus - and we can not 
    afford a campaign of attrition (we will [lose])... As well, such a course 
    of action faces the (very great) momentum of existing forces head-on... 

"Attrition" does not fit the situation, since our statements will not
make the publisher's PR people disappear, any more than their
statements will do so to us.  "Momentum" is not quite an accurate
analogy either.  Challenging their views head-on is exactly what we
must do, if we are to give the existing sentiment of P2P users a
nucleus to form up as an ethical opposition to the power that the
publishers demand.

    And I have concerns of mis-framing concepts with the inevitable of use 
    of  "intellectual property" and other poor constructs.

It's not at all inevitable.  To avoid it, we only need to decide to
avoid it.
