&gt; You never have to use somebody else&#x27;s copyright work.<p>You do however have to suffer the consequences of being falsely accused of doing so.<p>And if you want to use your own copyrighted work it helps if there are platforms to support you in doing so that aren&#x27;t either locked down by the incumbents or passing on the eye-watering costs of compliance to you.<p>As for Free Software, forcing it to comply with censorship is trying to square a circle and is going to either criminalize or neuter it. You can always make your own, but you&#x27;ll be breaking the law if you install it on your router or your tablet.<p>What bright side?
