I’m not so interested in the ‘doing the bidding of corporations’ thing, since that’s irrelevant unless the bidding of the corporations is bad. And the issue of what it’s okay to do with digital files and what counts as stealing and whether sharing art with the artists’ permission is good for them is also irrelevant (not that it isn’t important, but it’s a separate issue) unless the link between that and the EFF’s goals is clarified. So the bit I’d like directly addressed, with citations, examples, etc, is the:
“is doing everything possible to prevent enforcement of those rights, so that people can steal with impunity… …telling people that it’s OK to steal”
but but but noooo! I will not be sucked into this conversation! Look, a shiny thing!
