The FOSS ethos is stupid.
If I had the ability to destroy people's access to an idea by never having created it in the first place, then nobody has the right to complain when I destroy their access to it in another, more noticable way. Like claiming a domain or paywalling a piece of software.
That's why I hope DRM wins in the end. The right to control an idea always belongs to the actor the idea depends on.
