you saying that Stallman wants all patent laws overturned, you saying he's against "IP" when according to his own statements he isn't, and in fact relies on "IP" to protect his own works.

LMAO, so your excuse for purposefully lying for months in defense of Russian hackers is your supposedly noble defense of Green Party leftist Richard Stalllman, he of his own "manifesto" which advocates an actual "software tax" and his theories of "copyLEFT" vs. normal "copyright". Keep it up, this is a great confession, something we know from your other admissions you're not normallyfamiliar with.

When are facts a defense? I guess they can be considered that when used to counter lies. First you called them criminal, with absolutely no proof of it. Second, not all countries allow the anti-consumer clauses in licenses. You buy it, you can run it on whatever you want. They did not distribute OS X, just found a way to put it on a non-Mac PC -- legal in countries with strong consumer laws. In fact, that clause hasn't even been tested in the US yet, so we don't know if it's enforceable here.

Again, I didn't defend him, I don't even like him. However, when you start spouting lies about his positions on subjects, they need to be corrected.
