Hi all,
        While its great that we are having a software freedom day, but I believe that free software is just the beginning of the wakeup call . There is so much more that needs to be done. There is also the whole of Free Culture movement as well which has lots of similarities and dis-similarities to what free software hopes to do.

As an individual I believe the free software movement and the free culture movement have much to gain and I'm sure there would be lot of loose relationships which are there or may be forming as we speak.

A recent international incident concerning copyrights irritated and disturbed me quite a bit . Even after thinking about it for days it just wouldn't go down, hence put up a blog post about the same . http://flossexperiences.wordpress.com/2008/09/16/scarcity-and-copyright/

One thing though, I'm no expert in copyright.

While it may not serve the interests of the free software movement directly I do believe we get affected by it quite a bit.

Hoping we can make our voices heard in as many places as we can.
