Added a shell script I found to record screen and audio with ffmpeg. Made some

notes for my presentation on Freedom.

+* Selected Quotes
+"Flash is not actually secret but adobe keeps making new versions which
+are different, faster than anyone can keep up and make free software
+to play those files, so it has almost the same effect as being secret.
+
+Then there are the patented formats: it's BAD to distribute recordings
+in mp3 or any other proprietary format. Although there IS free software to
+handle those formats, distributors legally can not include support for
+such formats because they are patented in many countries.
+Modern distributions of GNU/Linux such as Ubuntu facilitate use of
+these formats by letting the user decide, thereby avoiding legal
+issues. Whether or not this is a good thing is a question of moral. On
+the one hand, many of these formats have become pseudo-standards and
+for most users, the short term usability aspect prevails. On the other
+hand, it's a very bad idea if we were hoping to get rid of proprietary
+formats eventually. If you want to support freedom, don't distribute
+recordings in non-free formats. Please use formats such as .ogg,
+.webm, or .png."

+"In an epoche when governments work for the mega corporations instead
+of their citizens, every technological can be taken advantage of to
+reduce our freedom..."
