and three years later, the holder decides to announce and it becomes
lawyerville.
there is a root problem. rightly or wrongly, folk were given space with
what we would consider today to be insufficient constraints on contact,
fees. justification of need, ... that was a contract, whether we like
it or not.
the world has changed. we would like to change those contracts. well,
we're gonna have to *negotiate* that. and acting unilaterally or
arbitrarily will only polarize and make a mess we just don't need.
