Comment Judge's Ruling Saves Us From the Sewersnoids (Score 1) 674
The judge's ruling is a welcome one.
Why?
Because it enables up-and-coming musicians to take a stand with Richard Stallman.
How?
Because now musicians will choose (that is, if they choose) to release music under the GNU license. Some musicians may choose the BSD license (God love 'em). And some musicians (Metallica and Dre, for example) may choose the restrictive proprietary licenses. If it's good enough for code-software, it's good enough for music-software.
Fair is fair, and if they choose not to enter the future, well, then, so long dinosaur!
This is now our chance to quit listening to those musicians who thumb their collective noses at us. We can kiss Warner Brothers goodbye. Adios! And we can return the favor in spades -- no GNU (or BSD) license, no listen. We shall henceforth listen only to musicians who recognize *our* rights and *our* freedoms.
The judge's ruling draws a clear line in the sand, one which benefits us. It further strengthens the GNU license and those who believe in it. We now determine the future, and the Internet will crush (negatively sanction) those retro-musicians who think they can control us and make us pay ad infinitum for something so trvial as a song.
We should be dancing! To GNU music!
