Freedom is not a list of restrictions. In reality, he wants to remove rights, give you a list of restrictions, and do so to protect the interests of developers, protecting their code from being stolen. He considers this very important to him.
How is this really different from DRM? DRM restricts users to protect the developer/artist from having their property stolen.
It's clear from these paragraphs that you have no idea what the GPL actually does or what RMS's goal is. A much better comparison between DRM and the GPL is that they are total opposites. As you say, DRM restricts users to protect the artist from having their property stolen. The GPL empowers users to change software any way they would like. If it restricts anyone, the GPL restricts developers since they can no longer control their code back once they release it.

You either pay through your nose for the business-class seats or you have to fly in cattle-like economic class.
Personally, I don't want champagne, I don't want caviar - I just want some additional leg and elbow space. I'll gladly pay 1.5x normal rate for it! But usually there's just no such choice
Isn't this exactly what United's Economy Plus offers (Economy + extra legroom for a slightly more expensive ticket)?
BLISS is ignorance.
