Where is the swindle? We publish our content on Wikipedia under a
license that suits us, with full knowledge of what can be done with
that information. I do not feel swindled.

Do you feel that CentOS is a swindle? Or RHEL?

The point was that I am willing to spend money on quality, not on
cheap garbage. That is why I got this cable instead:

The AudioQuest cable might be fine for casual listening, but for real
enjoyment it is hard to beat the Diamond Digital. It is a bargain!
