Stallman's contributions may have issues, but man his views on Intellectual Property stands on its own legs.

Good read. I wonder how you get the average person to be interested in these issues.


Run for President in an attention-grabbing way without caring about winning and say it over & over?


Lawrence Lessig tried (not quite without caring about winning, but close), but that attention-grabbing didn't work out that well.


You don't. The average person ought to do simple work and produce children, select few of which will have talent and integrity. These few have and always will make all the difference.


That was interesting. I was hoping for him to dive deeper into specific cases but I suppose the essay was long enough. Any other recommendations (potentially from https://www.gnu.org/philosophy/essays-and-articles.html#Laws)?
