@shel I can't really find any word for this other than "evil" -

Things don't look so good for free software developers in Australia, Brunei, Canada, Chile, Japan, Malaysia, Mexico, New Zealand, Peru, Singapore and Vietnam:

@fribbledom One way to think about this is the cost in time of having to redo all the ripping vs the cost of another disk or two. Don't want to end up like the guy who runs a local radio station who goes on the air with like 64 kbps MP3s that he ripped himself. Even through the FM modulation/demodulation it's still possible to hear the compression artefacts -

Reading about Jeff Session quoting the bible to defend what the US is doing to Mexican families makes me wonder if he's ever reflected on what this Jesus fellow would have thought about what they're doing -

@animeirl I dunno, don't underestimate right-wingers capacity for mental gymnastics. Being this possessive of one's daughter has some incestuous implications -

@animeirl Feels like would be hard not to purposefully rile up a father-in-law this thin-skinned -

@davidross Do write them again and include concerns around things like Wikis, forums or really any kind of self-hosted thing. If they're a bit right-wing, try the small business angle..
Both Swedish MEPs in JURI are against, luckily -

@davidross From the Swedish MEP I talked to about this it looks like it will pass the first vote, but has some hope of being stopped in plenum -

@moonman It's not done yet. I'm trying to come up with something that isn't too mean-spirited but still points out how useless the comparison is. But here's some spicy quotes:
"I recently ran across this post by Cassian on medium.com (mirrored here) that attempts to equate free software with capitalism. To some such a comparison might seem ridiculous; one is a legal hack to ensure that users of a program will always be able to run, modify and make copies of that program, whereas the other is a mode of production characterized by private ownership of the means of production, accumulation of wealth, wage labour and competetive markets. But to those people I say: you are wrong!"
"Under capitalism a person is primarily valued by their ability to produce, or by how much wealth they control. In free software, a developer is valued by their ability to provide features in a timely manner." -

I'm trying to come up with a sufficiently farcical blog response to the medium post that tries to equate free software with capitalism, but writing is haaard -

@adeptomega You should probably poke a few holes in it -
