+
+&lt;p&gt;A well known company, Valve, that distributes nonfree computer games
+with Digital Restrictions Management, recently announced it would
+distribute these games for GNU/Linux.  What good and bad effects can
+this have?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I suppose that availability of popular nonfree programs on
+the GNU/Linux system can boost adoption of the system.  However, the aim of GNU
+goes beyond &ldquo;success&rdquo;; its purpose is
+to &lt;a href="/philosophy/free-software-even-more-important.html"&gt; bring
+freedom to the users &lt;/a&gt;.  Thus, the larger question is how this
+development affects users' freedom.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The problem with these games
+is not that &lt;a href="/philosophy/words-to-avoid.html#Commercial"&gt; they 
are
+commercial&lt;/a&gt;.  (We see nothing wrong with that.)  It
+is not that &lt;a href="/philosophy/selling.html"&gt; the developers
+sell copies&lt;/a&gt;; that's not wrong either.  The problem is that the
+games contain software that is
+&lt;a href="/philosophy/free-sw.html"&gt;not free&lt;/a&gt;
+(free in the sense of freedom, of course).&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Nonfree game programs (like other nonfree programs) are unethical
+because they deny freedom to their users.  (Game art is a different
+issue, because
+it &lt;a href="/philosophy/copyright-versus-community.html"&gt;isn't
+software&lt;/a&gt;.)  If you want freedom, one requisite for it is not
+having or running nonfree programs on your computer.  That much is
+clear.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;However, if you're going to use these games, you're better off using
+them on GNU/Linux rather than on Microsoft Windows.  At least you avoid
+&lt;a <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>href="http://upgradefromwindows8.org/"&gt;the</strong></del></span>
 <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>href="https://www.fsf.org/windows"&gt;the</em></ins></span>
 harm to your freedom that Windows
+would do&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thus, in direct practical terms, this development can do both harm
+and good.  It might encourage GNU/Linux users to install these games,
+and it might encourage users of the games to replace Windows with
+GNU/Linux.  My guess is that the direct good effect will be bigger than
+the direct harm.  But there is also an indirect effect: what does the
+use of these games teach people in our community?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Any GNU/Linux distro that comes with software to offer these games
+will teach users that the point is not freedom.  &lt;a
+href="/distros/common-distros.html"&gt;Nonfree software in GNU/Linux
+distros&lt;/a&gt; already works against the goal of freedom.  Adding these
+games to a distro would augment that effect.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Free software is a matter of freedom, not price.  A free game need
+not be gratis.  It is feasible to develop free games commercially,
+while respecting your freedom to change the software you use.  Since
+the art in the game is not software, it is not ethically imperative to
+make the art <span class="removed"><del><strong>free &mdash; 
though</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>free&mdash;though</em></ins></span> free art is an 
additional
+contribution.  There is in fact free game software developed by
+companies, as well as free games developed noncommercially by
+volunteers.  Crowdfunding development will only get easier.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;But if we suppose that it is &lt;em&gt;not feasible&lt;/em&gt; in the 
current
+situation to develop a certain
+kind of free <span class="removed"><del><strong>game &mdash; 
what</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>game&mdash;what</em></ins></span> would follow then?  
There's no good in
+writing it as a nonfree game.  To have freedom in your computing,
+requires rejecting nonfree software, pure and simple.
+You as a freedom-lover won't use the nonfree game if it exists, so
+you won't lose anything if it does not exist.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;If you want to promote the cause of freedom in computing, please
+take care not to talk about the availability of these games on
+GNU/Linux as support for our cause.  Instead you could tell people
+about the &lt;a href="https://libregamewiki.org/Main_Page"&gt;libre games

+&lt;div class="introduction"&gt;</em></ins></span>
+&lt;p&gt;
+Note: each Pirate Party has its own platform.  They all call for
+reducing copyright power, but the specifics vary.  This issue may
+not apply to the other parties' positions.
+&lt;/p&gt;
+<span class="removed"><del><strong>&lt;/blockquote&gt;</strong></del></span>
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>&lt;/div&gt;</em></ins></span>
+
+&lt;p&gt;The bullying of the copyright industry in Sweden inspired the
+launch of the first political party whose platform is to reduce
+copyright restrictions: the Pirate Party.  Its platform includes the
+prohibition of Digital Restrictions Management, legalization of
+noncommercial sharing of published works, and shortening of copyright
+for commercial use to a five-year period.  Five years after
+publication, any published work would go into the public domain.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I support these changes, in general; but the specific combination
+chosen by the Swedish Pirate Party backfires ironically in the special
+case of free software.  I'm sure that they did not intend to hurt free
+software, but that's what would happen.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;The GNU General Public License and other copyleft licenses use
+copyright law to defend freedom for every user.  The GPL permits
+everyone to publish modified works, but only under the same license.
+Redistribution of the unmodified work must also preserve the license.
+And all redistributors must give users access to the software's source
+code.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;How would the Swedish Pirate Party's platform affect copylefted
+free software?  After five years, its source code would go into the
+public domain, and proprietary software developers would be able to
+include it in their programs.  But what about the reverse case?&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Proprietary software is restricted by EULAs, not just by copyright,
+and the users don't have the source code.  Even if copyright permits
+noncommercial sharing, the EULA may forbid it.  In addition, the
+users, not having the source code, do not control what the program
+does when they run it.  To run such a program is to surrender your
+freedom and give the developer control over you.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So what would be the effect of terminating this program's copyright
+after 5 years?  This would not require the developer to release source
+code, and presumably most will never do so.  Users, still denied the
+source code, would still be unable to use the program in freedom.  The
+program could even have a &ldquo;time bomb&rdquo; in it to make it
+stop working after 5 years, in which case the &ldquo;public
+domain&rdquo; copies would not run at all.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Thus, the Pirate Party's proposal would give proprietary software
+developers the use of GPL-covered source code after 5 years, but it
+would not give free software developers the use of proprietary source
+code, not after 5 years or even 50 years.  The Free World would get
+the bad, but not the good.  The difference between source code and
+object code and the practice of using EULAs would give proprietary
+software an effective exception from the general rule of 5-year
+<span class="removed"><del><strong>copyright &mdash; one</strong></del></span>
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>copyright&mdash;one</em></ins></span> that 
free software does not share.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;We also use copyright to partially deflect the danger of software
+patents.  We cannot make our programs safe from <span 
class="removed"><del><strong>them &mdash; no</strong></del></span> <span 
class="inserted"><ins><em>them&mdash;no</em></ins></span>
+program is ever safe from software patents in a country which allows
+<span class="removed"><del><strong>them &mdash; but</strong></del></span>
+<span class="inserted"><ins><em>them&mdash;but</em></ins></span> at least we 
prevent them from being used to make the
+program effectively nonfree.  The Swedish Pirate Party proposes to
+abolish software patents, and if that is done, this issue would go
+away.  But until that is achieved, we must not lose our only defense
+for protection from patents.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;Once the Swedish Pirate Party had announced its platform, free
+software developers noticed this effect and began proposing a special
+rule for free software: to make copyright last longer for free
+software, so that it can continue to be copylefted.  This explicit
+exception for free software would counterbalance the effective
+exception for proprietary software.  Even ten years ought to be
+enough, I think.  However, the proposal met with resistance from the
+Pirate Party's leaders, who objected to the idea of a longer copyright
+for a special case.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I could support a law that would make GPL-covered software's source
+code available in the public domain after 5 years, provided it has the
+same effect on proprietary software's source code.  After all,
+copyleft is a means to an end (users' freedom), not an end in itself.
+And I'd rather not be an advocate for a stronger copyright.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;So I proposed that the Pirate Party platform require proprietary
+software's source code to be put in escrow when the binaries are
+released.  The escrowed source code would then be released in the
+public domain after 5 years.  Rather than making free software an
+official exception to the 5-year copyright rule, this would eliminate
+proprietary software's unofficial exception.  Either way, the result
+is fair.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;A Pirate Party supporter proposed a more general variant of the
+first suggestion: a general scheme to make copyright last longer as
+the public is granted more freedoms in using the work.  The advantage
+of this is that free software becomes part of a general pattern of
+varying copyright term, rather than a lone exception.&lt;/p&gt;
+
+&lt;p&gt;I'd prefer the escrow solution, but any of these methods would
+avoid a prejudicial effect specifically against free software.  There
+may be other solutions that would also do the job.  One way or
+another, the Pirate Party of Sweden should avoid placing a handicap on
+a movement to defend the public from marauding giants.&lt;/p&gt;
