   See, even stallman said once that he does not believe in copyright,
   but used it because it's a way to use their tricks against
   themselves.

Shake, rms does belive in copyright.  There is very important
difference between not liking copyright law, and not beliving in it.
If you don't belive in something, then there is no reason why you
should break that specific law.  Which would mean that people should
be allowed to for example break the GPL; and I really doubt that
anyone would want that.

   Laws will not solve anything.

Laws solve alot.  They can help keeping information flowing, they can
make goverments use and develop free software so that the tax payers
can use it. 

If you mean law in general, then you are completly wrong.  Without
laws I would be able to go and buy a gun and run down the street and
kill anyone that doesn't follow my orders, and anyone could do the
same.


Cheers
