As a book author, I can say that, "Yes, something was stolen. My opportunity to earn a living taking care of readers."

Now you may believe the incredibly self-serving baloney from big companies like Google. You may want to pretend that infringement isn't theft. To you, I hope that some homeless kid breaks into your home, starts squatting, and says that, "Hey, this isn't theft. Nothing has been destroyed."

squatting monopolizes space, only one person can own it at a time

cool thing about information is when you make a copy, you've doubled the information - plenty for everyone! if only housing worked the same way

As a book author, what's your feeling on libraries, out of curiosity?
