...But corporations like RIAA, MPAA, and Viacom will probably lobby to shut
down P2P, Bittorrents, neutral Web, YouTube, Internet radio, and so forth.
Photographers, proprietary software vendors, journalists, musicians,
book/encyclopedia publishers, journals, celebrities, television networks,
and radio broadcasters are all affected by the open source movement. It's
about sharing of knowledge/creativity for free, rather than limiting access
to resources, which limits the poor, for the benefit of a few super-wealthy
managers.
It's the freedom to modify and distribute. Everybody wins, nobody can
exploit.
