Piracy, in today’s context of unauthorized sharing of digital content, is wrongly condemned as immoral theft. However, it is not piracy itself that is immoral. Rather, it is the greed-driven laws and practices that censor knowledge and creative works to maximize profits. At its core, piracy is about sharing information and creative works with others, which should be seen as a moral good. 🤑

    @platypus_plumba @ayaya FOSS is free … But people create services around it to get revenue. But, the software is free.

    Tthose big companies are making money using free software without giving anything back … And that’s disgusting. Check the latest Redhat move …

      Redhat not giving back?

      Do you think Redhat hasn’t contributed to Linux?

      I swear, I’m about to punch a wall reading these replies. Holy shit.

          They are still going to contribute. They will still update their CentOS Stream with fixes. They’ll still contribute to FOSS and the Linux Kernel… They are just making it harder for clone distributions to steal their work as soon as they publish it.

          How is it wrong? They want to make Redhat more profitable. If it becomes more profitable they’ll hire more engineers who will further develop FOSS.
