[Fsf-friends] DVD Region-changing Restrictions

[Krishna Pagadala]

"The great moral question of the twenty-first century
is this: if all knowing, all culture, all art, all
useful information can be costlessly given to everyone
at the same price that it is given to anyone; if
everyone can have everything, anywhere, all the time,
why is it ever moral to exclude anyone?" -Eben Moglen

On the contrary we should think and debate about
broader issues of freedom, although FSFI might choose
to act on software freedoms only.

Also we should not forget that "Software and Hardware
are logically equivalent" -Andrew Tanenbaum

Recall the face of the poorest and the weakest man whom you may have seen and ask yourself if the next step you contemplate is going to be of any use to him. Will he gain anything by it? Will it restore him to a control over his own life and destiny? In other words, will it lead to self-reliance for the hungry and spiritually starving millions?
-Mahatma Gandhi
