But if one avoids vague generic terms like "Freedom" or loaded words
like "Liberation", what about specific concepts like freedom of the
press, freedom to criticize your government and advocating its
*peaceful* change, freedom to form independent labour unions, freely
elected parliaments; Are such freedoms also just cultural imperialism
in your opinion?

So to the "pirate" crowd, Vietnam is as evil as the US then?

> Nevertheless copyright and patents restriction are usually unknown

And, presumably, also the terms of FOSS licenses are usually then ignored, too?
