Steam is a different kettle of fish, because games are (traditionally, at least) an even more time-sensitive market than popular music. There's a good chance that before your games become unplayable because their DRM server has been taken offline, they'll be unplayable because the hardware they need to run on is no longer available.

Wait, I've got it! Entirely new solution here:

The whole reason there's any disagreement is that the conditions of the problem don't make physical sense. We're told that (a) we've got the force of a jet engine pushing the plane forward and only the friction of the wheels on a conveyor belt holding it back, and also that (b) the conveyor belt moves backwards without slipping at the same speed as the wheels, which is only possible if the plane is not moving relative to the belt. Which side of the issue you wind up on depends on which of these conditions you believe.

I'd like to suggest that (a) and (b) are not actually contradictory. It is possible for the engine to thrust the plane forward without the plane moving relative to the belt... if the belt itself is sitting on a frictionless surface! That way, the entire apparatus -- plane, converyor belt, and all -- moves forward as a unit until the plane has sufficient speed to take off and leave the conveyor behind.

For what it's worth, the fascists never actually made the trains run on time. They just told everyone that they had, and jailed anyone who argued. That's fascism in a nutshell, really.

So given that the up side of fascism is comforting lies, I'd say we actually are seeing a lot of it.
