      Mr Stallman needs to be considered from all sides before deciding whether you’ll follow his lead. He’s not without some toejam.

        Not sure what that means. He’s not Jesus. There’s no need to worship him! We can take the good and criticize the bad.

          If you really want to worship him, though, he doesn’t mind if you’re his student or on the younger side …

          OK, that’s a joke. In Stallman’s particular case he even substantiated his view on pedophilia with very good arguments (especially for something this socially contentious).

          But I don’t think he ever wanted people to follow his lead.

            No, he didn’t, because none exist. Don’t defend pedophiles.

      I haven’t looked at or held or otherwise directly perceived a kindle in many years now, but when I did it was insanely easy to just pop any old file into a converter and slip that onto the kindle and pirate and read as you like. Did they put a stop to that with some proprietary nonsense?
