Quoting you, "If one wishes PKP to behave "ethically," it is necessary for us to make it unprofitable for PKP to behave in the manner in which it is. E. g. question their patents, bring suits against them, and otherwise make PKP's existence unprofitable. Suddenly, it will behave "ethically." That's like, if you want your kid to behave, beat him any time he misbehaves. Yeah, uh-huh. If we want PKP to behave ethically, we have to show them positive i.e. profitmaking incentives for doing so. For instance commitments to buy their products if they do (whatever). -gg
