The intersection of ethics, law, business and computer software is the subject of these essays and speeches by MacArthur Foundation Grant winner, Richard M. Stallman. This collection includes historical writings such as The GNU Manifesto, which defined and launched the activist Free Software Movement, along with new writings on hot topics in copyright, patent law, and the controversial issue of "trusted computing." Stallman takes a critical look at common abuses of copyright law and patents when applied to computer software programs, and how these abuses damage our entire society and remove our existing freedoms. He also discusses the social aspects of software and how free software can create community and social justice.

Given the current turmoil in copyright and patent laws, including the DMCA and proposed CBDTPA, these essays are more relevant than ever. Stallman tackles head-on the essential issues driving the current changes in copyright law. He argues that for creativity to flourish, software must be free of inappropriate and overly-broad legal constraints. Over the past twenty years his arguments and actions have changed the course of software history; this new book is sure to impact the future of software and legal policies in the years to come.

Lawrence Lessig, the author of two well-known books on similar topics, writes the introduction. He is a noted legal expert on copyright law and a Stanford Law School professor.

About the Artist
With his arrival on the New York scene in the early 80s, Show Business called flutist Robert Stallman a flawless joy to the ear and the spirit, and since then his solo recordings and his live performances in the Americas, Europe, China and Japan have established Stallman internationally as a most remarkable artist. American Record Guide has called Stallman a consummate artist , and a BBC critic notes that Stallman s claim to a special place among the world s masters of the flute rests in the daring artistry he demands of himself in every situation. His achievements include recitals and chamber music concerts in major venues around the world from New York s Lincoln Center and Carnegie Hall to London s Wigmore Hall, Vienna s Konzerthaus and Tokyo s Suntory Hall; invitations to many international festivals such as Mostly Mozart (New York), Musique à Cimiez (France), Dubrovnik (Croatia) Cesky Krumlov (Czech Republic), and Kuhmo (Finland); solo performances with the American Symphony, Strings of the Philadelphia Orchestra, the Royal Philharmonic and other orchestras, as well as collaborations with such artists as Jean-Pierre Rampal, Richard Goode, John Williams, Placido Domingo. His honors include a Fulbright grant to study at the Paris Conservatoire, a Koussevitsky Fellowship, a soloist grant from the National Endowment for the Arts, and listings in the International Who's Who in Music and Who's Who in America. In addition, Stallman, with currently over 50 performing editions and arrangements published by distinguished houses in the US and Europe, is widely considered to be the preeminent editor and arranger of flute music active today. Prior to the Bogner's Café label, Robert Stallman released universally acclaimed recordings for ASV, VAI, Arco Diva, Biddulph, MHS, CBS Masterworks and others.

Free as in Freedom interweaves biographical snapshots of GNU project founder Richard Stallman with the political, social and economic history of the free software movement. Starting with how it all began--a desire for software code from Xerox to make the printing more efficient--to the continuing quest for free software that exists today. It is a movement that Stallman has at turns defined, directed and manipulated. Like Alan Greenspan in the financial sector, Stallman has assumed the role of tribal elder in a community that bills itself as anarchic and immune to central authority. Free as in Freedom looks at how the latest twists and turns in the software marketplace have done little to throw Stallman off his pedestal. Discover how the Richard's childhood and teenage experiences made him the man he is today. If anything, they have made Stallman's logic-based rhetoric and immovable personality more persuasive. In a rapidly changing world people need a fixed reference point, and Stallman has become that reference point for many in the software world.

Hackers is a classic documentary about the midnight programmers that created the personal computer revolution.

Hackers is not about malicious code-crackers. It is about a "hacker ethic" that led to major breakthroughs in technology, and forever changed our world. From the first MIT hackers to popular Silicon Valley inventors, this program covers this fascinating cultural phenomenon through interviews with twelve of its early pioneers.

This half-hour program features conversations with: Steve Wozniak, designer of the Apple II; Andy Hertzfeld and Bill Atkinson, designers of the Macintosh; Homebrew Computer Club leader Lee Felsenstein; MIT hackers Richard Stallman and Richard Greenblatt; and many more.

Hackers was produced over a decade before the advent of the Internet. All interviews were shot over a long week-end in 1984, at the first Hackers Conference, hosted by Whole Earth Catalog editors Stewart Brand and Kevin Kelley, in Sausalito, California. This event was inspired by Steven Levy’s classic book Hackers – Heroes of the Computer Revolution.
