I think it would be better to create a parallel economy of underground unrestricted distributions while encouraging everyone to openly flaunt the law, and simultaneously fighting via lawfare and media. But maybe that’s just me!

If you are fine taking the legal liability and are open to civil and criminal prosecution, go right ahead.

Western jurisdictions tend to cooperate on extradition as well, and American free speech laws are significantly more expansive than those in the EU, Canada, or ANZ so taking a principled approach wouldn't be a viable defense if you decided to go and incite via that route.

> fighting via lawfare

That is being done.

> and media

You heard about it via the media.

Fine by me, I’m willing to fight. The freedom to compute is one of our most fundamental freedoms, connected inherently with freedom of thought and speech. Cowards like you don’t deserve the benefits you enjoy, and you will surely complain about their absence when they are gone!

This is not the first time I read comments from you, I just want to tell you you're probably one of the most annoyingly, reasonably correct person I read. And take it as a compliment, because each time I disagree with you I have to look at my position because I fear being on the wrong side of the argument (which is probably what I find annoying. I want to be unreasonable sometimes!).

He's completely incorrect in saying that most free software developers work for some USA megacorp.
