Popular misconception. Society which permits exploitative and or destructive behaviour actually hinders a society from being one. And restrictions are not about rstricting freedom but about restricting exploitation.
Agreed. I guess a lot of people are currently using Aseems argument or similar ones to "criminalize" FSF or OSS philosophy. Aseem has presented it in a more civil manner. Most people dont do it.
Laws are in place to check exploitation and to guard the freedoms that we have. Without these laws there will be nothing but chaos.
