"This is the seventh day of an email dialogue with Richard Stallman on the
philosophy of copyright that will be published over nine days on LinuxPlanet."
"[Stanco]:
>Since corporations come between the creators (of software, music, books)
>and the users, there have been, and still are, abuses of BOTH groups by
>them. But the problem is not copyright, but the power of corporations.
[Stallman]:
Not only by corporations. There are many non-free programs whose
copyrights are owned by individuals, which have been made non-free by
individuals.
I don't think it matters morally whether the owner of a non-free
program is an individual or a corporation. If it is non-free, it is
bad."
