Technology advances, and law and philosophy must advance with it.
Just for the record, I'll re-iterate a story that RMS likes to tell. He said
that when he was in elementary school his teacher encouraged the class to
share their candies with their friends. And today, it is the opposite: "No
Tommy, don't share your software/music/video/whatever. It's illegal."
You're missing a big point here Shlomi. You can share your
software/music/video/whatever, but what I create isn't yours, it's mine,
and it's up to me how it should be distributed and shared.
