@taknamay I'm not getting a good argument from this. Just some quotes about Nazis and calling copyright fascist? Don't get me wrong, I like open source, but it's something that only really works on an opt-in basis. Otherwise you lose a lot of incentive for commercial business to enter the field, which contributes a lot more to its growth than you'd think. Just because development of software, media, etc doesn't lead to a physical product doesn't mean it has to be public domain, although I do agree users should be able to use things in a personal setting however they please. Also, if something like my employer's website was open source, you'd be exposing a lot of confidential medical information and violating the hell out of HIPAA, just to give an example. There are a lot of cases like that where some control of software is necessary.
