But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It’s called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn’t immoral - it’s a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy.

I'll be your minister-- Of the exchequer? You'd rob me blind. I would never steal from you, he'd said hotly. Oh? Where is my tourmaline necklace? Where are my missing earrings? That necklace was hideous. It was the only way to keep you from wearing it. My earrings? What earrings?
