“Plus their beef with Vista’s Anti-Piracy abilities is stupid.
If persons from the FSF didn’t spend so much time on Bit-Torrent uploading cracks, Bill and the Boyz wouldn’t beef up the Anti-Privacy and DRM stuff. ”

You can’t honestly believe that this is about piracy, can you ?
Even if you did, how does their anti-privacy stuff help in THAT
aspect.

But, I don’t think you really believe that.

I think you are aware of the real reasons for Palladium, ( as it was
called, until consumers found out about it ) , or any of the other
names this has gone by over the years, as M$ and Intel tried so
desperately to keep it out of the public eye.

Control is the reason.
Monetization of EVERYTHING on the net, and in software.
It opens the door for monthly fees for the ‘priveledge’ of using
M$ products, or products of those companies that buy permission
to program for windows.
It opens the door to monitor ( and therby monetize ) EVERY incoming and
outgoing stream from your private, personal PC.
Everything can then be analyzed and charged for accordingly.

Pay per play.
Pay per Document.
Pay per page view.

heh, Piracy is the reason ???

Yeah .. right.

Greed is the reason.

Move on corporate shill, no one here is that stupid.

that corporations fear sites like these enough to pay shills to
post garbage like that.

If we weren’t effective, they wouldn’t bother.

This stuff is damaging to the reputation of FSF. A rabid and FUD-spreading FSF is not FSF as we know it.

Stallman may be busy lecturing around the world but that’s not an excuse for deploying such a poorly designed campaign. Now someone must come in and fix it.

I personally don’t recommend anyone to listen to the privacy crap from the FSF.
They require you to Join and register to post comments and will remove any comments that go against their “Distroy all Windows” policy.
The fact that they support one specific version of linux also throws out their credibility. They should support all versions of linux.

I thought that the FSF was about free software and not dragging other companies through the mud.

Plus their beef with Vista’s Anti-Piracy abilities is stupid.
If persons from the FSF didn’t spend so much time on Bit-Torrent uploading cracks, Bill and the Boyz wouldn’t beef up the Anti-Privacy and DRM stuff.

While the idea is great, the campaign suffers from being tragically mismanaged, from the evident censoring of comments, to perpetuation of FUDdy statements and overly annoying advertisement of that gNewSense Linux (wondering why not choose Debian with its perfect track record of keeping the distinction between “free” and “nonfree”).
