Free Culture advocates = Commies?

Mr. Gates:

No, I’d say that of the world’s economies, there’s more that believe in intellectual property today than ever. There are fewer communists in the world today than there were. There are some new modern-day sort of communists who want to get rid of the incentive for musicians and moviemakers and software makers under various guises. They don’t think that those incentives should exist.

Ah, but life isn’t just black & white anymore – was it ever – and why use that old bait-word commies for file-sharers or even people who believe in the Creative Commons? Silly.
