the reason that now relatively many people don't want Flash Player
anymore is that it's not maintained for Linux anymore and even on other
platforms it's not available. In the past I used Adobe Flash Player on
Linux myself and I still use proprietary software with Linux.

Interesting, here in Sweden, the former state television company
is "broadcasting" tv over Internet. They are using flash and their
sister company (the one collectiong the tv-licence fees) wants every-
body with a computer and an internet connection to pay.
If one can show that flash is non-linux, perhaps linux users could
go free.
Do you have any proof that would hold at a court ?
Here's the official announcement from Adobe -- they haven't dropped
Linux support as such, but they've certainly cut back on it:

In short, Adobe has stopped releasing new versions of Flash as a plugin
for Firefox, etc. -- it will receive security fixes for the next five
years, but no new features. Adobe will continue to make new versions of
Flash available within Google Chrome, though.
