Other commenters also take a stance that seems closer to mine than to Ingram's. Finally, Ingram and I did find at least one point of agreement <a href="http://search.twitter.com/search?q=dtunkelang+mathewi" rel="nofollow">on Twitter</a>. I believe I'm open minded and ready to admit I'm wrong if I'm thus persuaded. Believe me, I'd much rather be wrong, since that might make me much less depressed about the status quo.

As you'll see, <a href="http://thenoisychannel.com/?s=masnick" rel="nofollow">I do read Techdirt</a> but don't always agree with it. Your saying that there's an easy rebuttal is, well, a bit too facile a rebuttal for my tastes. Dave, thanks for stopping by. As you’ll see, I do read Techdirt but don’t always agree with it.

All due respect, there is simply too much easy rebuttal of your facile arguments out there for any serious observer of this issue to spend any time dealing with you. Go read Techdirt.
