No, intellectual property is as evil as nuclear codes, Coke, or Disney. The free software zealots started out as normal guys looking to save a buck and only later came to justify their cheapness with some insane moral legerdemain.

I'm not sure I understood your comment... is intellectual property evil? Are the free software guys on the wrong track? The way I read it there is a bit of self-conflicting points in the comment. Can you elaborate a bit for this poor soul?
