Stallmans intro til præsentationen:

Copyright developed in the age of the printing press, and was designed  to fit with the system of centralized copying imposed by the printing press. But the copyright system does not fit well with computer networks, and only draconian punishments can enforce it.

The global corporations that profit from copyright are lobbying  for draconian punishments, and to increase their copyright powers,  while suppressing public access to technology. But if we  seriously hope to serve the only legitimate purpose of  copyright–to promote progress, for the benefit of the public–then we must make changes in the other direction.

Dr. Richard Stallman launched the free software movement in 1983 and  started the development of the GNU operating system (see www.gnu.org)  in 1984. GNU is free software: everyone has the freedom to copy it  and redistribute it, with or without changes. The GNU/Linux system,  basically the GNU operating system with Linux added, is used on tens  of millions of computers today. Stallman has received the ACM Grace  Hopper Award, a MacArthur Foundation fellowship, the Electronic Frontier Foundation’s Pioneer Award, and the the Takeda Award for Social/Economic Betterment, as well as several honorary doctorates.
