From the New Architect [Via Tomalak’s Realm] comes a great editorial, The Crime of Sharing:
“…just as sharing makes us civilized, it’s sharing that makes civilization… I know that this is a fairly obvious observation. That’s why I’m stunned that so many kinds of sharing have suddenly, without public debate, become criminal acts. For instance, lending a book to a friend is still all right, but letting him read the same book electronically is now a theft.”
