Thanks, that's useful.  I'll try, though fail, to keep those
straight.

I confess though that the practical matter of how to talk in court
doesn't seem that relevant to me to the discussion we were having.  I
see the social ("philosophical") issues as fundamental and the law as
a heap of crude accidents.  It doesn't change a thing for my own
objections (to the idea that the AG should try to stop machine
readings) whether this is called by lawyers an exercise in copyright
or licensing.  I just think it's wrong because part of a creeping
attempt to ever increase the power of -- I guess -- licensing; and
part of the endless effort to hammer the market into, and hence
commercialize, every inch and hour of our lives; and also conceptually
incoherent because one cannot describe the difference between
infringing from non-infringing algorithms in any other terms than
something like, infringing means I'm not getting paid.
