" "While the creative works from the 16th century can still be accessed and used by others, the data in some software programs from the 1990s is already inaccessible. Once a company that produces a certain product goes out of business, it has no simple way to uncover how its product encoded data. The code is thus lost, and the software is inaccessible. Knowledge has been destroyed.

"Atualmente nós estamos no meio de outra "guerra" contra a "pirataria". A Internet provocou essa guerra. O compartilhamento de arquivos através de sistemas peer-to-peer (P2P)7 está entre as formas mais eficientes de tecnologia permitidas pela Internet. Usando inteligência distribuída, sistemas de P2P facilitam a distribuição de conteúdo de uma maneira que à uma geração atrás era simplesmente inimaginável.
Essa eficiência não respeita as linhas tradicionais do copyright . A rede não faz discriminação entre o compartilhamento de conteúdo com ou sem direitos autorais. Desse modo existe uma grande quantidade de compartilhamento de conteúdo com direitos autorais. Esse compartilhamento, por sua vez, excitou a guerra, com os donos de direitos autorais temendo que o compartilhamento viesse "tomar do autor o seu sustento"."
