Stallman is pretty hard FOR copyright. The strong guarantees of "free software" is 100% based on strong copyright law.

>Copyright Now
>Now with digital data and computer networks, it much easier for us to copy and manipulate information
> Digital technology has changed the effect of copyright law
> Copyright used to be a power that was:

> over publishers
> to yield benefits to the public
> Now it’s a power that is:
> wielded by publishers
> to punish the public
> in the name of the authors
> Now the public wants to copy and share — what would a democratic government do?
