And for all my ranting, the grass is greener on this side of the fence.

What if we went back to the copyright side of the fence? Suddenly you can't remix and you can't share. That's miserable.

What if we went back to the closed source side of the fence? One problem is my niche music preferences. Buying commercial music software is not only costly (I already wasted that money) but a UX nightmare. Open source tools take set up but can chain together for unintended uses, and we're up and running!
