			It probably won't be long until the Linux Foundation (headquartered in California) will be forced to implement backdoors like Microsoft, and technocrats in skyscrapers will, without further ado, make a law against removing those backdoors - the very same thing they did with DRM.<ref>[https://digdeeper.club/articles/technological_slavery.xhtml Technological slavery] - Dig Deeper</ref> Yes, they can.<ref>[https://web.archive.org/web/20251024131239/https://www.tastyfish.cz/lrs/yes_they_can.html Yes They Can] - Miloslav Číž</ref> If ''you'' can think of it, so can ''they''.

			We have to - in one way or the other - take matters into our own hands.

			As for how we are going to accomplish this, I unfortunately don't have the answers. But what I ''do'' know is that hoping for some legal miracle to give us back our freedoms and ownership over what we paid for - is not it.
