Which is to say, you advocate theft. Nothing new there.

Stallman is a wingnut. He used to be relevant, to some degree, but he went off the rails some years ago, and no longer matters.

Half of his points are only vaguely true to begin with, and he, of course, ignores the things you can do with an ebook that you cannot do with a paper book, like store a thousand of them in your shirt pocket, do full text searches, and so on. He's right up your alley.
