true, but then you have foundries like linotype developing the actual font management software, and making it available for free (much like apple does with itunes). i have to think they are going to make a push for some proprietary drm format because they are not making money off the software and i don't think that their built in store can be generating that much revenue.
the internet and the new distribution models it has enabled has really made a lot of businesses need to rethink why their industry is structured in such a way and who is benfiting and why.
it's quite obvious that the anti-piracy laws fall way short of stopping anyone from stealing fonts or software. i think if the liscensors made it more affordable, more people would buy legitimate software.
