Death to âPiracyâ: Should All Music Sharing Be Free? [VIDEO]

,----[ Quote ]
| Free software activist Richard Stallman 
| certainly wouldnât say so. Stallman started 
| the Free Software Foundation based on four 
| principles.
| 
|    1. Information, such as computer software, 
|    should be freely accessible.
|    2. The information should be free to 
|    modify.
|    3. The information should be free to share 
|    with others.
|    4. The information should be free to 
|    change and redistribute copies of the 
|    changed software.
| 
| While not all of these principles apply to 
| music, he says, some of them should apply. 
| And a lot of music fans and musicians tend to 
| agree with him. In many ways, the corporate 
| side of the music industryâs attitude toward 
| musical content mimics Microsoftâs or Adobeâs 
| or Appleâs attitude toward software. This 
| attitude often does nothing to help those who 
| create or those who enjoy the content in 
| question; it does everything to make money 
| for the corporations who oversee licensing 
| and purchase fees.

| Many of you surely know the Android operating 
| system developed by Google. Maybe not everybody 
| know itâs not fully free software.
| 
| This is why activists from LibrePlanet Italia 
| and Software Freedom Law Center created a fully 
| free software Android alternative called 
| Replicant.
