No, we are not primarily fighting with you about movies. We are primarily fighting to protect our way of making software. Our efforts are designed to protect our right to modify and reinstall, improve, and share software. Don't tell us that we're off on some quixotic, romantic engagement with reshaping the movie business. We're hackers, we make software. Our concern is protecting the integrity of the process that makes software. And all the legal devices that we recommend, and all the trouble that we are making, is to protect our homeland against somebody else, who wants to come in and prevent us from doing science and technology the way science and technology should be done according to us, the scientists and technologists.
