Charlee Compo wrote an excellent article for Bitten By Books http://bittenbybooks.com/?p=3151

A Pirate turned up to opine "You cannot stop piracy with narrowminded, zealous puritan rhetoric; all you will achieve is offending the majority of us who are in the middle of the road."

I've quoted a fair use amount of a lengthy rant from William in which he gives inaccurate information about fair use and copyright and more.

In other words, basically, "You cannot stop us, so lie back and enjoy it!" And he also believes that he has a right to read anything, and if it is not available legally, that he has the right to steal it.
