just because you can do something does not mean you should do somethingBut that
just because you can do something does not mean you should do somethingBut that misses my point precisely: if this was your buddy Josh, an appeal to ethics would make sense, but a corporation isn't a person. Publishers can't do anything else, just like moths can't help but fly to light. If a CEO's ethics regarding DRM don't agree with maximizing the value of the company, he'll say "I can't do my job because it's unethical" and be replaced with someone else.
"""A CEO isn't being paid to make his company an ethical actor in the world, he's paid to maximize the value of the company. If a CEO's ethics regarding DRM don't agree with maximizing the value of the company, he'll say "I can't do my job because it's unethical" and be replaced with someone else."""That is wrong,[url=http://parajumpersjakkernorgejacketkodiak.olimx.com/][b]Parajumpers Jakker Norge[/b][/url], and wrong in a way that is very symptomatic of the illness afflicting our society as a whole. I point and say "hey look,[url=http://rogervivieroutlet.webmium.com/][b]Roger Vivier Shoes[/b][/url], a rock fell on a baby's head and smushed it,[url=http://woolrichoutletitalia.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Piumini Vendita[/b][/url], because it's really heavy". You say: "If you believe that babies should be smushed by rocks; then you are criminally insane and it is societies right and duty to limit you so that you do not harm others". See my point?See,[url=http://duveticaoutletcanada.halod.com/][b]duvetica down jackets men[/b][/url], and this confuses me - in your last sentence,[url=http://parajumpersoutletdanmark.albirank.net/][b]Parajumpers Jakke outlet[/b][/url], you used "fiduciary responsibilities",[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket[/b][/url], which makes me think you went to college. But this shows such a lack of reading comprehension. oooooh. If you take it as law that companies exist only to make profit and they cannot help it,[url=http://parajumpersjakkernorgejacketkodiak.olimx.com/][b]Parajumpers Jakker Norge Jacket[/b][/url], then you should also take it as law that when companies do things people don't like, people will get upset, and this will, hopefully,[url=http://parajumpersjakkernorgejacketkodiak.olimx.com/][b]Parajumpers Jakker[/b][/url], reduce the company's profits. This is how people can try to make companies do what they want, and this is how markets work. So,[url=http://woolrichoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket Deutschland[/b][/url], using your logic, there is nothing wrong with people getting angry and blaming the company - it is part of the system to make the market produce what people want.-----andreyf 1358 days ago | link
But we were talking about morality,[url=http://woolrichoutlet.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Arctic Jacket Deutschland Shop[/b][/url], and I'm afraid markets aren't moral when it comes to externalities. Whether or not you dumped toxic waste on villagers halfway around the world to make it just isn't part of the equation for most people.[AGAIN: Not saying this is right, or optimal, it's just reality folks, with no way I can see of changing it]-----olefoo 1358 days ago | link
Are you unfamiliar with the usage of wrong, as in bad; morally wrong, unhealthy and pernicious?As a matter of fact I did go to college. That does not mean that I had my conscience removed. Fiduciary responsibility is the law under which corporations like publishers operate."""Fiduciary responsibility is considered to be breached when the officers of the corporation place the assets of the corporation at risk by violating the law; is that not so?Allow me to state a hypothetical, you are the CEO or a board member of a company and one of your direct reports brings you a plan that would involve selling lollypops with a physiologically addictive additive to young children. He presents complete documentation that no one will be harmed unless they stop consuming the product and provides an assurance that an industry consortium can have this additive declared legal before the product is marketed. You don't have to violate the law to breach a fiduciary responsibility. With that said, the extent to which you are responsible for some financial matter is usually determined by the lawyer suing you and the judge overseeing your case.-----olefoo 1358 days ago | link
I am fully cognizant that fiduciary responsibility is a guiding principle and not rote procedure, the point I am attempting to elucidate for those who throw the term around so freely here. Is that fiduciary responsibility is not a substitute for moral judgment,[url=http://woolrichdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Woolrich Deutschland Woolrich Arctic Jacket Online Shop Damen and Herren outlet deutschland[/b][/url], and too narrow a construal of it leads inevitably to a place where a strict by the numbers construction of what fiduciary responsibility is demands that you take actions that are so wrong that your company should be dissolved since it is actively harmful to society.-----dasil003 1358 days ago | link
In most publishers, if an "enlightened" CEO decides to give up rights, he needs to justify the business value of thatHow about justifying it by the fact that it could cause a huge backlash and cause customers to decide buying ebooks is just too risky, and paper books are too bulky, and by god the whole "book" thing is just too much of a hassle and we'll just stick to blogs and wikipedia. No, it has nothing to do with that. It's not even a digital issue (other then that technology enabled it). It's the fact that if you sell shit to people and then take it back they don't like that. What exactly is the risk of someone keeping something they purchased? If it didn't sell well that will be very few people. The production and distribution costs have already been sunk, so the undo button is doing nothing but pissing off customers. It's completely unrelated to what I said. People don't need to "know about DRM" in order to be pissed off when stuff they bought disappears.-----tdonia 1358 days ago | link
i believe the parent's post is (successfully) making a counter argument that though a publisher may have an incentive to minimize risk, primarily they are deemed a 'publisher' because they publish (that is,[url=http://duveticaonline.olimx.com/][b]Duvetica piumini italy[/b][/url], broker the distribution of) books. approached from this perspective,[url=http://monclerjassengoedkopekoop.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jassen Online[/b][/url], it's hard to see this blog post's defense of publishers as simply minimizing their risk exposure as anything but shallow and counter intuitive to their primary goal of distributing books. that said, i don't work in publishing - i only consume it's published products - so i reserve the right to be wrong about how they make their money. sorry,[url=http://parajumpersoutletdanmark.albirank.net/][b]Køb Parajumpers Jakke outlet PJS Parajumpers jakker Udsalg Danmark 2013[/b][/url], but we never will. when you're selling something as abstract as a story you should consider yourself lucky that ANYONE is willing to devote any portion of their non-survival budget to such trivialities. While it's become common lately for people to be able to do so, this is a very new (less than 2 centuries) old phenomenon that's still quite fragile. And as the music industry has so effectively proven - if you push consumers hard enough they're not going to give up on their content, rather, they'll route around the choke point and take over distribution (and by extension content production) through less centralized means. If customers cared,[url=http://monclerjacketsdeutschland.albirank.net/][b]Moncler Jacken Deutschland[/b][/url], DRM would be a business risk, and acted on accordingly. But they don't, and so it's not. I wish customers cared. I really do. I wish they cared about their shoes being made by little slave children and civilian Iraqi deaths, too.
