Brad Templeton quotes:

The rest of the world views the USA the way Silicon Valley views Microsoft. Except with tanks.

I think intellectual property is more like land, and copyright violation is more like trespass. Even though you don't take anything away from the landowner when you trespass, most people understand and respect the laws that make it illegal. The real crime in copyright violation is not the making of the copies, it's the expropriation of the creator's right to control the creation.

I can direct dial today a man my parents warred with. They wanted to kill him, I want to sell software to him.

It is important to remember that when it comes to law, computers never make copies, only human beings make copies. Computers are given commands, not permission. Only people can be given permission.
