How much?

Certainly less than 2 days.

You're right. I didn't make myself very clear and now I'm not even sure I can remember the exact point I was trying to make!

I don't see how this is at all supposed to be convincing. Furthermore: "In my lifetime, I expect the copyright cancer to complete its metastasis. I expect that old-fashioned physical property rights will decline by the same magnitude. When I reach my deathbed and find myself ready to will that old-fashioned property to my unlikely-to-exist children, I'll be sure that document has a nice big public domain dedication at the bottom."

If he thinks so little of software copyright because it's "old-fashioned" and cancer-ridden, shouldn't he think the same of physical property law? Is this the kind of person that would steal your wallet too?

You didn't really ask them to make a choice, though. You gave them an opportunity to signal courage and self-sacrifice and probably some other things.
