[HANASHIR:5203] Re: Xerox

Rick:

While I realize this is merely an attempt to be facetious, and argue against
the pettiness of some things, the fact of the matter is that Ellen has hit
on an important point. We live in a society where concern for the protection
on intellectual property and copyright is largely ignored. One whole in the
dam is sometimes all it takes to start a flood.

Copyright is not some capitalist bourgeoisie plot - the concept goes back to
the Torah and even further. It is not about money, but about respect.
