A very ugly worst-case scenario...
Remember that spate of stories we were getting about the new 1000W = 1KW power supply units [PSUs]?Here are a few of them:
New 1 Kilowatt PSU - Too Much Power?
Now consider, for example, the specs on the PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool® 1KW PSU:

Now suppose three things:
Current: 15A @ 115V
WARNING: PDF DOCUMENT
http://www.pcpowercooling.com/products/assets/TC1K W/specs.pdf1) You're a l33t gamer, and you install a PC Power & Cooling Turbo-Cool® 1KW PSU, drawing 15 Amps @ 115V, and
Okay, now do like Sponge Bob and Patrick in the box, and use your I-M-A-G-I-N-A-T-I-O-N, keeping in mind how Death was stalking Chad Donella's character in Final Destination I:2) You're a l33t gamer, and you install a Sapphire Graphics Water Cooled Radeon X1900, and
3) Your water-cooled Radeon springs a leak.
INT. WAGGNER HOUSEHOLD. BATHROOM. NIGHT. Tod picks up a razor and puts it to his face to shave. The water begins to leak from the toilet and slowly makes its way to where Tod is standing. He puts the razor to his face and instantly cuts himself. In the mirror?s reflection, a black mist floats across. Tod spins around. Nothing there. The water edged closer. Tod puts the razor down and picks up scissors instead and begins to cut the hairs from his nose. He then picks up a plug, thinking it?s the electric razor but it turns out to be the radio. The water edges closer to Tod?s feet. He?s unaware but pulls the radio plug out in time. He moves away from the mirror but the leak follows him.
PS: I assume the folks at "Sapphire Graphics" have never heard of this thing called The Association of Trial Lawyers of America... -
Re:Holes make a Torah unkosher
Hey Jews didn't even believe what G-d dictated. He's of the opinion that we're a stiff necked people. Who'd disagree, nu? Deut 31:27

Re:Quick! BAN BOOKS!
Could you provide some evidence/proof of your claime?
Here is mine:
Leviticus 24:1-23
A man curses and blasphemes while disputing with another man. Moses asks God what to do about it. God says that the whole community must stone him to death. "And the children of Israel did as the Lord and Moses commanded." 24:10-23 -
Sometimes you just have to say... WTF
Worse, say the program's detractors, is that it rewards those students who parrot the industry line with trips and free DVDs.
Back in the eighties Junior Achievment taught us how to make money being a pimp. Now they're cutting out the middleman and teaching impressionable children how to whore themselves out for free DVD's.

Re:A bad decision
while I hesitate to speak for others,
my understanding is that stallman believes that the moral thing for you to do is to release the source.
that does not necesarily mean you should be forced to do so on pain of incarceration.
Of course it also means he thinks it would be immoral for others to choose to use your closed software.
don't mistake important things like right and wrong for trivial things like the current law of the day.
Render therefore unto Caesar the things which be Caesar's, and unto God the things which be God's. -
