Of course different social facts govern each, and there are plenty of
interactions of free software and music as well and I'd hate to even
treat them as classes of things that we can make generalized
assumptions or predictions about. It's sometimes possible to avoid
creating those classes to talk about uses, but that's perhaps
idealistic.

With that said, you didn't say free music was impossible, but I was
only hoping to speak on music's fungibility.
