I think that people here expect miracles. American management thinks that they can just copy from Japan—but they don't know what to copy!

When you buy a song file what you are buying is not a stamped product, but permission. Permission to copy a track from a sanctioned vendor. But it is just as easy if not easier from people to copy from one another. Who needs a middle man unless they offer an added value and do it at a motivating price point?
Richard Menta
Why is it bad to use an unauthorized copy of a proprietary program? Because it’s proprietary! So an unauthorized copy is almost as nasty as an authorized copy of the same program. They are both nasty because they are proprietary. The users don’t have control over them. If they pay developer – that makes it worse, because they are rewarding this delinquency. That’s why the authorized copy is worse. But they are both bad because they are both proprietary software. If you want freedom, you have to get rid of them both, because they both control you.
Richard M. Stallman
If you copy from one author, it's plagiarism. If you copy from two, it's research.
Wilson Mizner
An original artist is unable to copy. So he has only to copy in order to be original.
Jean Cocteau
If you buy a DVD you have a copy. If you want a backup copy you buy another one.
