Key Quotes from Eben Moglen:
- Discussing a software supplier: "like all other monopolies, they obeyed the laws of the free market, they produced lousy goods at very high prices and they stifled innovation"
- On bribery and corruption often present in legal decisions: "i don't think anyone actually thought there was any point in offering Stallman money"
