Digital BW, The Print

Not to make an important point glibly, but as I recall it (over the 
years), you've consistently defended EPSON's  (razor/blade) sales model: 
"illegal tying" included.

So, IMHO, your supposed defense of  intellectual property here seems 
more incidental, fortuitous, and even chimeric than genuine.

While you are sober and even-handed on other points, your handling of 
and analysis of issues relating to issues relating to EPSON in my memory 
seem to come down always on the side of EPSON, particularly when it 
relates to allowing them to choose any business model they please or 
their responsibilities to consumers.

That makes your current defense of "intellectual property" seem more 
than a tad suspect, and perhaps, less grounded in principle than legal 
and marketplace rationality.  Unless we are going to accept complete 
laissez faire marketplace as a viable option -- As an aside: given 
modern corporate market power, only a complete ignoramus could believe a 
laissez faire system is even distantly viable. So, I DO NOT think you, 
or any serious reader, REALLY believes in that (except perhaps in some 
theoretical utopian �riginal position" dreamworld)...
