    I think the best explanation of these business decisions on this is "business philosophy". It's scary how religious they are in their professed belief in capitalism and "you get what you pay for". Even after decades of evidence showing them that they are wrong, they persist in believing that if it is free, it's no good. They've swallowed and totally embraced the propaganda that deliberately ignores the fundamental distinction between the abundant and easily duplicated world of information, and the scarce, material good world, and buy that nonsense that copying is stealing. They think their lot is with producers, and want their precious company secrets protected to the max. Fear of loss really pushes people's buttons, no matter how much the gain more than offsets the perceived loss.

    When I've tried to ask if that's why, I've gotten bull for an answer. Basically the tone of the answers is that I'm an engineer not a businessperson, and therefore unqualified and incapable of understanding the company's decisions on these matters. Now go back to your cube and work on engineering stuff, and leave business to the pros.
