V. Sasikumar interviews Eben Moglen


The spectre of free information

"Free software that helps us reward artists is therefore a crucial part 
of the business of freeing art. And this is why I say in my writing that 
there is an inherent relationship between free software and free 
culture. Free software enables free culture. Without free software you 
can’t have free culture just as without free software you can’t have 
Google. They are interdependent properties, free culture and free 
software. And we have to have a common banner and we have to march under 
the same banner together. Because if we don’t tell people that we are 
inherently part of the same thing, if we can’t get that message across, 
they won’t figure it out for themselves."
