You sir, were just flagged with the "troll-bit" across all your posts.  
The fact that you equate the production and use of software /only/ with 
an "industry" of some sort demonstrates the level of your indoctrination.

There are arguments for software as speech.  I do not claim to support 
all of these - but you are clearly in the ideological camp of the 
control-freaks.  When we can no longer use our machines for anything but 
software from a govenment provided white-list, and are unable to 
uninstall select bits - we will have people with positions like yours to 
thank.
