Spot on!  Give us more free stuff, I say.  If I'm shelling out 50 euros
for a book, the last thing I want is some suit from the publisher breathing 
down my neck, telling me how I can or can't use it.
 
If you’re charging a fair price, fine - but don't lock it up with chains
and threats, dragging me into a court to squeeze more euros from me.
