Re: [Trisquel-users] Can someone give me a compelling case why I should use only free-software?

Exactly! If we don't care about copyright and disobey it, we will do  more  
harm than good, because we will break the power of GPL and CC and other free  
licenses.
We want changes in copyright laws and Public Domain laws, and we want more  
freedom to share.... We have to fight for those changes, we have to encourage  
producers to use free licenses, we have to create even NEW licenses that  
allow people to make profit with free content. Piracy will never be the  
answer, and it will bring about BAD things, like DRM and Copyright extended  
periods.
I believe I have already suggested a different, new type of license that  
would make community be able to access the source code and make changes,  
while still making the money go to the person who created the software in the  
first place. It was an iddea, I don't say it's perfect, but it could be  
worked into something better. But if we are unwilling to make any changes in  
our behavior and in our way of thinking, we will never get any gain out of  
this whole thing.

Also, let's be honest, why would we want to use proprietary software, when  
the best software available is the free one?
VLC, GIMP, Firefox, Tor, LibreOffice, MediaCoder, etc.
