Nazis.

Yes, that's right--Nazis.

I was watching the Hitler miniseries, and was strict that
the ant laws aimed at limited the people from freely
using their software were kind of like Hitler's laws aimed
at destroying an other FSF/GPL like society namely Communism.

Let's look at the similarities.

First: The Nazis distorted the facts to prove their point. The antipiracy
people distorted some facts about RedHat Software and how it's flagship
product namely Linux is a holy grail of communal property--the key stone of
the FSF/GPL, and GNU movements toward free software for the masses.

However the fascists at Microsoft have setup roadblocks to free software by
implementing Draconian laws aimed to destroy the spirit of free software.

Anitpiracy people have even set up concentration camps to hold the innocent
masses who have not committed any crimes--namely Kevin MitNick
(www.freekeven.com) and the 16 who designed the DeCSS software. (The people
have been locked into prisons for five years without a trial and have had
had to fight frivolous lawsuits because of Nazi-like laws passed by the
antiparty fascists.

It might never end go to www.2600.com and fight these new antipiracy Nazis
before the supporters of FSF/GPL and GNU
are rounded up by the strong arm of the antipiracy cops and thrown into a
concentration camp for pirates.

We can fight back by: releasing worms and viruses on the Internet, DOS
Attacks on any web site that supports antipiracy laws or other
communications laws that have thrown people into prison. Or by
a carefully placed EMP/T Bomb (www.infowar.com).

If the antipiracy fascists have to rebuild their networks they can't enforce
their draconian laws--you can't fight when your own army has to rebuild it
self. (Destruction from within--from "the Art of War")

Act now before you loose the right to use Free Software.

Don't believe any fascists who tell you otherwise--free software is a
powerful tool.

If a government suppresses you, such as China, Iran, Iraq, etc. if civilians
in those countries destroy the information infrastructure/ the
communications that those countries use to mobilize their troops, and
control the population--then, and only then, have they made a giant leap to
freedom.

piracy --> a method to make all software, free.

read 2600 @ 2600.com and fight the fascist legal system so
they are no more Kevin MitNicks or Bernie S.'s locked up in American
concentration camps. (www.freekeven.com)

So the ANTI-DeCSS Nazi's too--they are trying to pass some
fascist laws as well. (If they get their way you could be
arrested for the crimes of: 1.) backing up a cd. or 2.) writing
some free software to play DVD's on any computer you want.

coding because of fascist Nazi-like corporations don't what some

I can't stand this any more without commenting. What you are
suggesting is that all software should be free. Fine. Who's going to
write it? A lot of software is written for the fun of it, to see what
can be accomplished, because I felt like it, etc., and then given
away. That's ok, and I have contributed to that cause many times, and
am happy for that opportunity.

However, most of the software is written because someone recognizes a
need, and also a possibility to generate some income. Does that make
that person a bad person because they want to be paid for the time
they spent working out the details of their code? I don't think so,
because in a free market system, supply and demand, for the most part,
determine who gets paid for what, and how much.

To say that "someome" (fascist government???) should take everyone's
software from them and give it away to "those that need it" is a
system that already has a name - socialism. It was a system that was
tried for many years in the USSR, and then it collapsed on itself
because without the expectation of a rewaard, nobody works. Why
should I spend my time, money (what little I have left,) and energy
developing something, just to have it taken away and given to someone
that can't or doesn't want to do it themselves? Whay stop at
software? What about the vegetables in your garden? What about your
car? Maybe someone else "needs" it more than you do? Free for all?
Who decides?

A free market system isn't perfect, but it's the best there is for
now. The bottom line is that without the reward, there is no reason
to work, therefore, the system collapses from apathy. My $.02 worth.

(note : see notes above if you missed them)

Alternatively, you could just write the software yourself. THIS is the key
to a virtual economy of free/shareware. If i write a CDRW software program
and release it as freeware, who has the power to stop me ? there are no
copyright infringements. Linux, nmap, fprot and the many many other free
programs available are the result of this concept. If you want a society of
free software, this is how to acheive it. Put down Sun Tzu and use your own
noggin.

And Remember; If you cant beat the system, Go around it.

Let x = FSF goombas are communists.

Let y = Nazi's hate communinsts.

Logically if

y hates x

Socks must agree on some level with y.

No, that's not what he was suggesting. He merely wishes it to remain legal
for those who *wish* to produce free software to do so. He merely wants it
permitted; not compulsory. You didn't read closely enough, mistook what he
was saying for your own pet grudge, and jumped down his throat without
thinking. Read his first post again, where he says

>>"Act now before you loose the right to use Free Software."

He doesn't say anywhere that he thinks all software should be compelled to
be free. He just thinks people have the right to use free software if they
want.

This argument is bogus for two reasons: a) because you were wrong about
thinking he wanted software to *all* be free, and b) because you seem not to
know that writing free software can and does earn people income just like
writing closed source does.

> To say that "someome" (fascist government???) should take everyone's

He didn't say that. You just made it up. READ his first post. It just
doesn't say anything remotely like that. Stop worrying over things that
aren't even there!

[snip pointless theoretical discussion of problems with USSR-style command
economies because that's not what was being proposed by the OP.]

You seem to have such a chip on your shoulder that you assumed without
paying attention to what you read that it was some kind of communist
manifesto. Try re-reading it.

Hmmf. The 'net turns out to be a scale-free network, however, which means
that strategic attacks on the most highly connected hubs *can* fragment it
into disconnected islands. And I wasn't sure if FK was referring to the net
as a whole or just to the subnetworks within it belonging to the antipiracy
activists, which of course are generally ASs with a limited number of
connections into the cloud.

Well, his whole point is that that statement is becoming increasingly
untrue. If you write code to decrypt and play DVDs, or to decrypt e-books,
you can be arrested, hauled before the courts, and possibly jailed. I'd
count that as "stopping you". His arguments may be simplisticly passionate,
naive and overexaggerated, but there's a very real freedom that *is* being
actively quashed by measures such as the DCMA and that fritz chip stuff and
the malign confluence of music biz, MPAA and BSA types that are pursuing
further limitations of our freedoms to control our own systems and software.

At last, somebody understands how the juggernaut must be stopped. How
the nazis are not going 2 give up until they get their way. Now if the
people who are ignoring the double jeopardy rull will take down their
pictures of Hitler my quest will be over. But, wait, more medical

and, you understand Network Archetecture, too. A carefully designed
worm using AI tools/techniques could help us win the war. Any AI
hackers willing 2 take on the challenge to end the fascist riche of
the antipiracy nazi please release 1 on the net 2 stop the nazi
juggernaut from rolling, and crushing 'innocent' programmers who are
trying to make free software ... so it goes. and so on.
