"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."

Additional quotes by Lawrence Lessig
The obvious point of Conrad’s cartoon is the weirdness of a world where guns are legal, despite the harm they can do, while VCRs (and circumvention technologies) are illegal. Flash: No one ever died from copyright circumvention. Yet the law bans circumvention technologies absolutely, despite the potential that they might do some good, but permits guns, despite the obvious and tragic harm they do.
Overregulation stifles creativity. It smothers innovation. It gives dinosaurs a veto over the future. It wastes the extraordinary opportunity for a democratic creativity that digital technology enables. In addition to these important harms, there is one more that was important to our forebears, but seems forgotten today. Overregulation corrupts citizens and weakens the rule of law. The war that is being waged today is a war of prohibition. As with every war of prohibition, it is targeted against the behavior of a very large number of citizens. According to The New York Times, 43 million Americans downloaded music in May 2002. According to the RIAA, the behavior of those 43 million Americans is a felony. We thus have a set of rules that transform 20 percent of America into criminals.
