I am going to take a pass on following this shift from talking about non-free files as a general topic (which is a very broad topic and a core issue to our movement, and which I feel qualified to talk about) and the URAA issue (which, though significant, is a bit murky to me). My opinion on URAA is pretty simple: it is a terribly misguided law. One sign of a bad law is that it prompts deeply divisive arguments where they need not exist. Within the Wikimedia world, I recognize that various people are pushing for incompatible outcomes, all in good faith. I have stayed out of that debate so far, and will probably continue to do so.
