Why aren't people scared from proprietary content the same way they are scared from closed-source software? - eviltoast

I started seeing more and more non-free content (paywalled or non freely licensed articles and videos) and less Creative Commons or freely licensed content.

All of this is making me worried about the free content future.

Why aren’t people worried about that and why they are not doing something about it?

I don’t know of any non-profit currently that advocate for free-er world, which is essential for the libre culture.

    Propublica is funded by recurring donations from a wealthy couple. Common dreams is subscription and donation driven. Relying on the wealthy to fund free content isn’t sustainable at scale.
