Oh boy.  The W3C is just the members, plus the staff, so to impute any stance 
to it is strange.  Then, there is a difference between paid content and 
protected content; there is content that is paid for that is not protected, and 
I can certainly imagine uses where free content is nonetheless protected.  

There is no mocking going on that I see (well, sometimes the conversation gets 
a little warm, but it's a subject that is both interesting and a focus for 
strong opinions).  But, in case of any doubt, let's keep the conversation 
productive and professional!
