Why RIAA lawsuits matter to the Free Software Foundation

John from the Free Software Foundation sez, "When the RIAA chose to attack the Free Software Foundation over our submission of an amicus brief in one of their filesharing cases, it raised some questions — not about the RIAA's legal strategy of suggesting that the FSF should not be able to file a brief at all, which was clearly baseless — but about why an organization working on software freedom cares enough about these lawsuits to intervene, and about what exactly the FSF's position on copyright is, given that we rely on it for the GNU General Public license to protect free software."
