RMS Protest Song On Gitmo 500
An anonymous reader tipped us to a protest song RMS has written and recorded (while visiting Cuba) and is hosting on stallman.org. It's a sort of parody, although it's too serious really to be called that, in Spanish of the song "Guantanamera," in which a Gitmo prisoner talks about his experiences and mourns his fate. RMS wrote the lyrics in 2006 after learning what "Guantanamera" actually means. The lyrics are moving, and the recording, in Ogg, is competent — RMS sings well and he's got some amateur musicians from Cuba backing him up. Here are the lyrics and an English translation.

Yeah I know its RMS, so ideology wins over practicality. But I'd think AAC would be ok, and then it could be played with iTunes or whatever.

Obviosly their freedom would be at great risk if they could travel anywhere, anytime. Only terrorists needs to travel outside of the US, anyway.

Almost same with gitmo. Or was the 'protest song' the hard part?

Actually, I'd just stop at "shut up". But that's just me.
