The four freedoms don't address malicious mischief or criminal intent. Those activities don't begin or end with the GNU GPL.

zblaxell, I agree with most of what you have written, even if not with the exact reasoning, and that server resources are important. Security through obscurity has been a goal of the monopoly, the direction that path is going seems rather disagreeable or even unacceptable. The results of the community working in an open manner have generally been better and certainly are more honest. As to your question, I would rather if your freedom and my privacy were not in opposition, thank you very much :).

I'll bet RMS would love it if all of us wrote a perfect GNU GPLv3 so he wouldn't need to try to attain that difficult goal.
