saying that software piracy is harming the free software movement more than it is harming the Giants themselves
Software gets copied illegally.
Illegally copied software cannot harm the Free Software movement because no revenue stream is hit. Maybe FS dissemination would be slow due to the widespread and prevalent use of illegally copied software. The Giants would slowly bleed to death due to rampant copying because of oxygen cut off. Slashdot may have been saying this, anyway I shall Google and get to it.
Best.....
