True, but from a personal perspective, would you be willing to fight the big media companies?
If I was working in a company with a significant amount of capital, I'd definitely consider it, but otherwise, economics prevent us. This isn't a matter of free software vs. commercial software - its between consumers and media companies wanting to enforce their view of fair use to the full extent of the law.
The best we can do is lobby them, that's about it.

p.s. Its also about risk too - where are the developers mainly residing for Dreambox? Some countries are a bit more lax than others, so maybe the risk is not so big. |
