Talk:Federation Against Software Theft

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe this article is slightly POV, but I really find it difficult to make the case for the other side, so I am leaving that task to someone else. I have tried to tone down what I say a bit.

Arguably perhaps some very specialized software needs to be paid for and protected.

Fujitsu UK, one of FAST's sponsors, has a picture of a manacled leg on its home page. Unwitting irony perhaps?

This article is highly POV. Look at the language being used : "FAST victims tend to be those who have not realised that there is plenty of high-quality free software available. FAST therefore picks on the ignorant and vulnerable." I don't know how anyone could think this was written from a neutral point of view. Amren ^(talk) 13:01, 1 October 2005 (UTC)

So fix it. You haven't made the lamest effort to do so. If you think you can justify what this organization is up to, you can fill in relevant section. Oh, and do the same for final solution while you are at it. As you object to the use of the word 'victim' I have removed it. If I could find anything to mitigate what these people are up to, I would have put it in. I have now put in a short paragraph trying say the kind of thing these people might say to defend themselves, without quite resorting to using the language of emotive mis-metaphors muddled with legal threats. The reader is invited to reflect for a few moments as to whether the claims made are borne out by the facts.

This read like a discussion page, with people posting comments on it as if it were a message board (to me.) Thus, i edited it: not with vandalism, but with an experimental NPOV repair.
