Ok, Architengi, You need to better know the FOSS world.

1) It's possible to make money with completely free (as free beer) and FOSS. (See Red Hat, Linalis, etc...).

2) FOSS isn't obligatory free (ad free beer).

3) It's possible to distribute freely music and make money. (see NIN).

4) It's difficult but possible to distribute freely movies. (see Big Buck Bunny or here)

The only obstacle? The lure of profit and power.

And the problem of Chinese copy: the PC maker (Dell, Vaio, etc ...) are facing. But they make good profits.
