    Internet Archive has the original from which I assume all needed open source codecs were generated. I see Ogg Video there.

    I hope you're talking about crony capitalism, socialism and communism.

    You should know libertarianism with TRUE free market capitalism is in fact the freest society, with the least restrictions and no such things as patents etc...

    Agreed! He is on another plane--and it's a good plane to visit or live on. I chose to walk that path and I would never choose otherwise.

    "People who don't lend books to their friends aren't friends" Haha awesome!

    Richard Stallman is awesome.

    I like how he differentiates between different kinds of things and not put everything into the same pot (Around 0:48:00).
