Emphasis mine. Another good analogy to use is a car or a house. Imagine if you buy a house, but the blueprints are secret. The only way you can change your basement is if you go to the first architect and ask him for them. He can charge whatever he wants, even though it is your house. If it was legal for car companies to force you to get your car serviced by them exclusively they would do it. That's what propietary software creates, a monopoly and dependence.

As to what you say about Stallman not sharing UNIX that's not a good analogy either. Even if it is possible to decompile and reverse engineer software it is difficult work and one never gets the original source code back. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but Stallman's conflict with proprietary software started in part because of a bug in a printer driver. He wanted to fix it, but was unable to do so as the driver was proprietary. In this instance his alternative was to create a new system. When it comes to movies, music, electronic books, audiobooks, etc. the content is already accessible but behind a jail.

And just out of curiosity did you even check out any of the films I linked you to?
