Free software ideology says it is better because denying users any of the four freedoms is an immoral act.
I find it weird how some people can strongly agree with that when it comes to software, but move to any other realm of human activity (economics, intellectual property, etc) and suddenly the same freedoms shouldn’t apply.
I think it’s because somebody has to produce that media, and the one producing it gets to choose the license for it, and that license can make it free or non-free.
Now, for open source software, somehow, a lot of people came together and built software that was free. While for movies, shows, books, whatever, the same thing didn’t happen, or at least not to the same extent.

Well, you see, I deserve free software for my hobbies, or even my business. You deserve to suck shit and die in a gutter. /s
