Anon, I guess Apple then is also stuck in the '90's and their pay $1/song or $10/album is also pining for the golden 1990's.

All this talk about digital payments is a real blast from the past.
Not just because it's all been said before; but because of how it demonstrates that cypherpunks are still stuck in the early 1990s as far as their world view.

I'm not sure whether to laugh or cry when I read someone like James Donald claiming that MP3s are a micropayment market. Wake up, gramps! My God, nothing could make you sound more like a clueless refugee from the 90s than a statement like that. It's a perfect illustration of how irrelevant the cypherpunks have become.
