Let's hope they are working on their fighting skills so they can survive in prison without having access to themselves forceably circumvented by other inmates.
You do realize your post is quite likely in violation of Federal law in the USA, to wit: 17 USC 1201(a)(2), as you could be considered to be "providing a service" (giving technical information on how to circumvent) for "the purpose of circumventing a technological measure that effectively controls access to a work protected under" copyright law.
10s of millions of deaths from communism sounds like an exageration.
Anyway, we should state our position is anti-merchantilist (merchantilism is a non-free market economic system, which is popular with fascist regimes, and is capitalist in structure, but has strong elements of governemt control and distortion/hinderence of free markets) and that the intellectual "property" laws are pro-merchantilist and hence anti-capitalist, as they unlevel the playing field and rig the economic system to make someone succeed who might not otherwise.
Don't make it us/communists versus them/capitalists. Make it us/capitalists versus them/merchantilists. Do it right and you can get both conservatives and liberals on your side.
When you can't pay the bills with your craft, you change to another craft. How many decent artists does that deny us the pleasure of seeing or hearing?
You do realize Slashdot runs Linux, an OS for which people don't get paid to contribute to (in general)?
Note to Slashdot: Upgrade Apache already! 1.3.29 has security holes. Don't get 0wned.
Because of you our music won't sell, Now God is going to damn you to hell. Trading our songs has raised our ire, Now thou shall burn in the Lake of Fire!
Why can't the gov't do the math and realize that the telecommunications industry is so much bigger than the content industry?
Drop all the DMCA and other crazy rules, and even if you hurt the content industries profits by 50% and only increase the telecom industry profits by 10%, that is still a net gain, since that 10% is of a MUCH, MUCH bigger amount.
Home UPS slowly lost capacity until one day it dropped a load after less than a minute instead of 20 minutes like it should have. Luckily I was only testing.
At work, the UPS FRIED right around when the power went out.
1. Phones can work without power, as long as the switch is alive. 2. A normal phone can be a simple piece of electronics not subject to computer failure modes. 3. Phone service is circuit switched and reliable. VoIP is packet switched, and thus has much less reliability. 4. 911 doesn't work well over VoIP. 5. Even if it did, problems 1-3 would make it something you can't rely on. 6. People should always have a land line for emergencies. If an emergency occurs and they onle have a VoIP and/or cell and they might suffer tragedy.
Loss of phone service is expected to endanger life in many cases. It needs to be regulated.
Loss of VoIP should not be expected to do so, except if people choose to rely on it and not have a landline.

I can still license work I contribute to a GPL project anyway I wish.
I can supply code to a GPL project (e.g. Linux kernel) and keep the copyright, but license it to them under the GPL. I can then go to a proprietary company and license it to them on a license which allows them to use the code in a product which itself has a restrictive license (e.g. Windows).
The people who I licensed it to via the GPL have those rights and responsibilities, the ones I proprietary licensed it to have the rights and restrictions associated with it.
Dual licensing is OK.
Now if you are talking about assigning copyright to the FSF, that is another story. I assume they license it back to you via the GPL and maybe some extra rights.
Assigning copyright to the FSF is something I'd have trouble doing personally.

Problem 3 on UNIX (TM) and UNIX-based systems means files are chmoded 644 instead of 600 when it is running an external viewer. That is quite serious.

People will accept anything when the alternatives are made illegal.
Be afraid of getting on the wrong side of the law in the USA, although here the abuse will come from other inmates.
As for DUI, it depends, it could ruin your life, or you could still become President, or anything in between.
Would make him look rather silly since the NSA has a Linux distribution...
No he wasn't, see the Parable of the Talents (Matthew 25:14-30 in the Christian Bible)
Even if you aren't Christian, you may still agree that it accurately represents what he said, and thus he is not a Communist.
I don't think unions are allowed to strike against the government.
Against Federal law I believe, look at the air traffic controllers.

Office of the Commissioner of Baseball (wtf?)
Think about the copyright on baseball games. They don't want those traded on p2p networks.
Many US companies are so fixated on the short term that they will sacrifice long term profits for short term ones.

What if your UPS fails?
Happened both at home and at work.
Home UPS slowly lost capacity until one day it dropped a load after less than a minute instead of 20 minutes like it should have. Luckily I was only testing.

Anything that makes large companies make less money very well might be made illegal.

Your last link is about the Catholic church, which is not part of the US gov't and is not US specific.
Or is your point that if the US were as liberal is you'd want them to be, the gov't would outlaw the Church.
Good for you. Go there now. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
Arrested?
On what charge?
That is insane!
One of them got convicted of a felony.
