[Clipart] Offtopic Commentary: FSF/MS/Proprietary/FreeSpeech

*Offtopic Commentary: FSF/MS/Proprietary/FreeSpeech/various other community
attempts.*

I've been doing some massive amounts (literally hours of continuous link
clicking and reading) of research online today. I've been visiting sites
such as The Pirate Bay, Free Software Foundation, Microsoft, CNN, various
news and blog's, Open Source Initiative, Patent Offices, Copyright Lawyers
statements, trials and outcomes, MPAA, reading reading reading, ....

It occurred to me just now that Microsoft and a number of other business are
the modern equivalents of Braveheart's England. Attempts at bullying,
coercion, and "because I said so" mentality. They even have power to "rape
and pillage our women and children" - the things that reproduce our values
and goals, and the offspring of the ideas...

I only hope that not too many "Braveheart's" have to become martyrs before
the world is changed for good - finally.

*thoughtfull mood*
