Software gets copied illegally.  

Illegally copied software cannot harm the Free Software movement because
no revenue stream  is hit.  Maybe FS dissemination would  be slow due to
the  widespread and  prevalent  use of  illegally  copied software.   The
Giants would  slowly bleed  to death due  to rampant copying  because of
oxygen cut  off.  Slashdot  may have been  saying this, anyway  I shall
Google and get to it. 

Best.....
