No need to return to physical media, abolish proprietary software instead
copyright law also sucks
Free/Libre software is software that respects the user's freedom. Software that meets the "four essential freedoms" is considered Free/Libre. The Free Software Movement was started by Richard Stallman to to pursue the liberation of cyberspace, to create a free digital world for computers users.
Richard Stallman started the GNU project to develop an operating system for this, and pioneered the concept of copyleft with their GNU GPL license. Copyleft is a specific kind of a Free/Libre license among many, that guarantees that the user's freedom is preserved when the software exchanges hands. The four freedoms of software are: (0) to run the program, (1) to study and change the program in source code form, (2) to redistribute exact copies, and (3) to distribute modified versions.
