Free Software advocates and pensioners of the EU have a platinum
opportunity to lead by example, switching to consuming only Free
Culture.

Facetiousness aside, why should the onus only be on free culture
advocates to switch to free software and not vice versa?

What would it mean to switch to free culture?


FWIW I use mostly free software (I have the Adobe Flash plugin and some
non-free codecs installed and use many questionable web applications)
and would bet that very few people culture consumption has a larger
"free" component than mine -- for example 22 of my top 50 artists
counted by http://www.last.fm/user/mlinksva/ primarily release under CC
or PD.
