" "On December 17, 1903, on a windy North Carolina beach for just shy of one hundred seconds, the Wright brothers demonstrated that a heavier-than-air, self-propelled vehicle could fly. The moment was electric and its importance widely understood. Almost immediately, there was an explosion of interest in this newfound technology of manned flight, and a gaggle of innovators began to build upon it.

Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig
"Todas essas histórias possuem temas comuns. Se "pirataria" significa usar o valor da propriedade intelectual de alguém sem sua permissão como tal conceito é descrito cada vez mais atualmente [69] então TODAS as indústrias afetadas pelo copyright atualmente são produtos e se beneficiaram de alguma forma de pirataria. Filme, música, rádio, TV a cabo... A lista é grande e poderia ainda assim ser expandida. Todas as gerações davam boas-vindas aos piratas do passado até agora."
It is valuable copyrights that are responsible for terms being extended. Mickey Mouse and "Rhapsody in Blue." These works are too valuable for copyright owners to ignore. But the real harm to our society from copyright extensions is not that Mickey Mouse remains Disney's. Forget Mickey Mouse. Forget Robert Frost. Forget all the works from the 1920s and 1930s that have continuing commercial value. The real harm of term extension comes not from these famous works. The real harm is to the works that are not famous, not commercially exploited, and no longer available as a result.
