>he installs a linux distro
>I installed it because I want to contribute to freedom!
*sips* listen kiddo..
no you don't, you contribute to the same mythology of intellectual and digital property that perpetuates the very unfreedom you're trying to rebel against, by joining another totalitarian sect of fanatics who guard these relations like dogs because their whole creed depends on the notion they supposedly try to abolish
instead of installing win 7 from a torrent site, pissing on their made up imaginary structure of digital property and enjoying your life, you only further the misery of humanity

He's right. The copyright system is fucking retarded. Your shitty gahnoo licenses won't save you. Stop being a beta cuck and pirate software like a real man.

They are the world's sweatshop indeed, they aren't supposed to have most human rights. But free software movement's navel-gazing hippies won't free them because their idea is yet another corpse of past socialist movements that's severely outdated, misses the point of liberation of commons (as if there are "free islands" of liberated socialist people floating around, surrounded by total crooks and spies, hello mr Stalin? Stallman? Stalinman?), has no real base of support anywhere in the real world since the old labor movements are gone for good, and consists of fanatics out of touch with reality, software hobbyists as politically dangerous as your grandma, and corporate students on vacation who see it as an opportunity to hone their skills and then return to their profit-oriented corporations, and perform even better for them.
What would I suggest the Chinese? I would suggest them something a bit more honest, an idea that computers are secondary, that software licenses can't cause revolutions, and that the real world is primary, so perhaps their social arrangement at large is rotten and governed by dangerous crooks who need to be dealt with as soon as possible.

Windows has had decades of CIANiggers putting all kinds of backdoors in it and the hard truth is for any other closed source project to do better it'd have to be made in a place with a basement full of the fuckers rotting corpses.
While open source projects aren't perfect they do make it much harder for (((them))) to compromise our security and easier for us to fight back.
Linux is about more than how stupid copyright is. It also about the fact our machines are being compromised at every level by a state who's totalitarian ambitions are obvious to anyone who can just do the tinniest bit of digging into how shit everything is.

GPL is designed precisely as a weapon to use the concept of copyright against itself. You have no fucking idea what you're talking about.
Gavin Nguyen
no u.
stallman literally believes in taxes to subsidize "creators" as a replacement to copyright if it were ever abolished.
he isnt remotely hostile to the idea of copyright - he views it as a best option among terrible atlernatives.

>he isnt remotely hostile to the idea of copyright
this is wrong, see here gnu.org
also you know you can use his license and not give a shit about the rest of his political opinions right?

Perhaps in a magical fairy world where it's not backed by interests of massive capital that exists quite objectively and quite independently and interferes in the markets whenever it needs to. It's a wrongly defined battlefield, to begin with. As I said. There's no excuse apart from paranoid psychological disorder for not using "cracked" software now, it already belongs to the commons - it has all the traits of a digital program that technically can be copied and distributed instantly, the only hindrance is its ritualistic pseudo-legal aspect. And if someone says that it disturbs the markets and impoverishes the creators, nothing has impoverished them more and disturbed the markets more than large profit-seeking capital and its agenda.

So we should support the shitty business practices of Microsoft's monopoly (that will thus increase), report even smaller numbers of usage of the competitors products and humiliate ourselves by using an ecosystem that tells everyone that a lack of transparency is okay; something that brings out the worst in people, like data mining.
If you pirate Windows, you don't pay money, sure. But this isn't mainly about money, it's about software that is not treating you like cattle. You might be "redpilled" "woke" or whatever you might consider yourself by pirating Windows, but the truth is, you're still a cow like the rest - lining up to be milked but you don't have any milk to give. They only tolerate you because you further solidify their position as the biggest. And in doing so, you "only further the misery of humanity". You will still use software native to Windows, some will phone home to inform of this and the software world will be in an even uglier position. Monopolies hold back progress and while you might be satisfied by the shit Microsoft has given you, a lot of us know we could all be much better off; with a healthier market, better performance, less bloat and more choice.
What you're proposing isn't going to do anything bad for Microsoft. They don't really care about pirates. They're smart, and like the other big IP holders they understand that pirates are good advertisement and that a chunk of them make the best consumers. As for your "sect" drivel: Stallman is weird, and I don't agree with a lot of his shit, but copyleft is still pretty genius. You don't need to subscribe to his ideals to use GPL or Linux and GNU software; a lot of people use it for work and are as ignorant as ever. Hell, 40% of Microsoft's own servers now run Linux.

False, proprietary software is still harmful even if you decide you're going to violate the license. The source code is still kept secret which presents practical problems making it significantly more difficult to study and modify the program. And you will still receive legal threats if you attempt to use it commercially and they find out.
