STALLMAN: Well, people are working on this. But for non-functional works, one thing doesn't substitute for another. Let's look at a functional kind of work, say, a word processor. Well, if somebody makes a free word processor, you can use that; you don't need the nonfree word processors. But I wouldn't say that one free song substitutes for all the nonfree songs or that a one free novel substitutes for all the nonfree novels. For those kinds of works, it's different. So what I think we simply have to do is to recognize that these laws do not deserve to be respected. It's not wrong to share with your neighbor, and if anyone tries to tell you that you cannot share with your neighbor, you should not listen to him.
