Dear free software supporter,

Are you in search of an easy way to explain to others what free software 
is and why it matters? Or are you perhaps wondering why you yourself 
should be concerned about computer-user freedom? If your answer is yes, 
then this TEDx talk by FSF president Richard Stallman (RMS) is what 
you're looking for!

RMS was invited to give a TEDx talk at "FREEDOM (@ digital age)" 
<http://www.tedxgeneva.net/tedx-geneva-2014-freedom-digital-age/> in 
April and took the opportunity to explain the fundamentals of the free 
software movement to the general public. In this speech, RMS introduces 
the issue and makes the stakes clear; he explains what a computer is and 
who controls it, what the various implications of free software and of 
proprietary software are for you, the user, what you can do to stop 
being a victim, what the obstacles to computer-user freedom are, and how 
you can make a difference.

The TEDx talks are "designed to help communities, organizations, and 
individuals to spark conversation and connection through local TED-like 
experiences." At these events, screenings of videos, like this one, "or 
a combination of live presenters and TED Talks videos — sparks deep 
conversation and connections at the local level."

We hope you share

the recording, to help raise awareness and inspire conversations and 
connections in your own circles, and introduce a friend, loved one, or 
acquaintance, to this "first step in the liberation of cyberspace."

If you watch any TEDx talks on YouTube, please remember to use a free
