What is libre culture?

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.

Some beliefs include but aren't limited to:

That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Rules

I've looked into the ways other forums handle rules, and I've distilled their policies down into two simple ideas.

Please show common courtesy: Let's make this community one that people want to be a part of.
Please keep posts generally on topic
No NSFW content
When sharing a Libre project, please include the name of its license in the title. For example: “Project name and summary (GPL-3.0)”

Libre culture is a very very broad topic, and while it's perfectly okay for a conversation to stray, I do ask that we keep things generally on topic.

literally the first sentence is me saying I think he was assassinated, did you even read it, or are you just like on a tear?

you misunderstood me, I'm saying it sounds like he got killed by James Bond......

I literally thought this was sarcasm. Like, genuinely didn't connect that line to a serious statement of "I think he was assassinated". Maybe don't reference a movie franchise when expressing that you think a real person was really killed by a real regime? Even if people realize that's what you're saying, IMO it's still in poor taste.

But yes, if your intended context was that you think he was murdered and did not commit suicide, then no it wasn't victim blaming what you said. My mistake.

so you genuinely mistook that for some "don't do the crime if you can't do the time" conservative mumbo jumbo about laws being important? you're not just fucking with me?

No. I don't fuck with people on this kind of subject matter ever. I'm also not great at reading implications sometimes.

its alright dont worry about it... but look at this shit does this sound like a suicide case to you?

“He was brilliant and funny,” Lessig wrote in a blog post Saturday. “A kid genius. A soul, a conscience, the source of a question I have asked myself a million times: What would Aaron think?”
