and everyone will be able to make them, like hi-fi stereo today.

Interestingly enough, there is a concerted effort today to remove analog sound inputs and outputs from things like your home theater equipment, and replace them with digital ones that can be DRM'd. Little Brother (RIAA, MPAA, Microsoft, et. al) will only do the same sort of thing with computer technology, replacing old restrictions with new.

Free Software, like other Freedoms, is an ongoing, endless struggle. Just remember, to them, you're just another faceless Coppertop Matrix Profit Battery. Try to unplug from their system, and you'll get flushed down the loo!
