Free Software can take over the world, but it will not happen if it is 
associated with breaking the law. This is the biggest thing I have 
against RMS, in that he too often encourages this sort of thing. It can 
happen, we just have to take the high road and not resort to petty 
crimes to get what we want. So sorry, disagree with RMS (and I'm 
assuming you as well) here  :-)
