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.....
