Wow, Stallman sure has a way of predicting the future. This isn't the first time he's predicted the future with such accuracy -- remember the story that he wrote about a dystopian world far away in the future where books were under DRM? It's so funny that story came true so much earlier than expected.

You can justify it with legalese all you want, at the end of the day it's such a perfect example of how awful that whole thing is that it wouldn't pass as real in a story.
