Gnu License adds freedom, RIAA takes away freedom (Score 1)

The GPL is a license that gives you rights to copy and use software that's copyrighted. It gives you feedom to use software and makes sure that the software remains free for other people to use.

RIAA/MPAA on the other hand takes away freedom by restricting and criminally prosecuting people.

Also as someone else told before "The RIAA/MPAA are considered unreasonable because their reactions are percieved as disproportionate. Illegally uploading one music file to the internet does *not* cause hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of damage, but that's what the RIAA will sue you for. Also, none of the people the RIAA/MPAA are suing are infringing copyright for commercial gain, unlike in this case."
