Bwaaaaaah...

Everyone wants a piece of you these days: Google, Facebook, Flickr, Apple, AT&T, Bing. They’ll give you free e-mail, free photo storage, free web hosting, even a free date. They just want to listen in. And
you can’t wait to let them. They’ll store your stuff, they’ll
organize your photos, they’ll keep track of your appointments, as
long as they can watch. It all goes into the “Cloud.”

Moglen whines mightily about the very thing the GPL purports to do.
1) Give you something for free -- public copyright permissions.
2) Snatch control of your exclusive copyrights for public consumption.

Are Free Softies actually so stupid that they can't see the hypocrisy
in Moglen's protestations?

How we got here is quite a scary story. But nowhere near as scary as getting out again. Eben Moglen, a Professor of Law and Legal History
at Columbia University and the founding director of the Software
Freedom Law Center, warned you about privacy and the cloud before. At
a public meeting of the Internet Society of New York on February 5,
Moglen will ask you to consider how much worse things have become
since then and explain what you can do to reclaim your freedom in the
era of Web 2.0.
ROFL

Sincerely,
RJack :)
