Moglen on Social Justice and OSS
NewsCloud writes "What does Firefox have to do with social justice? How will the one laptop per child project discourage genocide? How soon will Microsoft collapse? Watch Eben Moglen's inspiring keynote from the 2006 Plone Conference (Archive.org: mp3 or qt; or YouTube). The video presentation is ordinary, so the mp3 is an equally good format. 'If we know that what we are trying to accomplish is the spread of justice and social equality through the universalization of access to knowledge; If we know that what we are trying to do is build an economy of sharing which will rival the economies of ownership at every point where they directly compete; If we know that we are doing this as an alternative to coercive redistribution, that we have a third way in our hands for dealing with long and deep problems of human injustice; If we are conscious of what we have and know what we are trying to accomplish, when this is the moment for the first time in lifetimes, we can get it done.'"
Yeah sure, because everyone has a player for those installed on their computer. Not everyone is an open-source fanatic, get over it. And H.264/AAC is still more accessible than Quicktime or AVI files (especially with their dozens of CODECs).
And H.264/AAC may be proprietary formats, but nothing prevents the open-source community to buy licenses. After all, if people can send money to some guys just so they can destroy an Xbox360/PS3/Wii on launch day, they can send money to help pay for CODEC licenses.
Stallman = Jew
Moglen = Jew
All the jews care about is money!. That's is why they are so fucking cheap to pay for software. They want to control all the programmers in the world to keep creating free software from them.
It's like Israel - get other countries like USA and UK to give them free money and control over our armies.
