| Very bad analogy. It's not theft, it's infringement. But I see where he's going: it's easier to mock-up theft to prove a point than IP infringement. |

| All of these big media execs mis-characterize infringement as theft as that will get them more sympathy when they're crying in front of Congress for new laws. |

"Lessig also points out that making a copy of a digital work is essentially different from stealing someone's laptop; when the laptop disappears, the user no longer has access to it and has lost something important and costly. The same is not true when Google scans a book. "
Would Lessig allow Charkin to remove the hard drive from the laptop, copy it, and post all the info on the web if he returned the laptop and drive? |

| I once stole a pair of underwear from a woman. I taught her a lesson! |

i once met a girl at a bar, and later found out she wasn't wearing any underwear.
thanks chris! i probably went over the same lesson material with her. This post was edited by mooresa56 on Friday, June 08, 2007 at 23:14. |

#1 The **AA use the exact same flawed analogy - works well on the idiots who don't know any better.
#4 I don't want to know what she learnt from that! |
