I want to be able to listen to music tomorrow, as well as the end of today. This ability is harder to take away, but it can be eroded. For example, have you read "Right to Read"? http://www.fsf.org/philosophy/right-to-read.html
I knew of the existence of this article but had never got around to reading before today. The prophecy it contains is very scary. I understand that this could be construed as FUD or scare mongering but even watered down it still scared the pants off of me. Will my children not be able to share books when they reach university? Will the copyright laws get to such a level that learning is forced underground? The seeds are planted today have they germinated? I fear they have and for one I am frightened for my children's and their children's future.
