Libre Culture

Libre culture is all about empowering people. While the general philosophy stems greatly from the free software movement, libre culture is much broader and encompasses other aspects of culture such as music, movies, food, technology, etc.
Some beliefs include but aren’t limited to:
- That copyright should expire after a certain period of time.
- That knowledge should be available to people, not locked away.
- That no entity should have unjust control or possession of others.
- That mass surveillance is about mass control, not justice.
- That we can all band together to help liberate each other.

Don't you have to steal them to copy them? The fact that no one knew they were stealing them to copy, means the owners didn't know, couldn't opt out or protect them. Just because it's not a law yet, doesn't make it okay.
Why are you not? You wrote the defense out.
If someone still has their belongings after a “theft” it’s not theft.
What they are doing is violating the artists (and much more heinous things), but calling it theft isn’t accurate, has undesirable side effects, and doesn’t solve the problem of stopping them doing what they’re doing.
No, you can go into the library and take pictures / scans of the pages without the books ever leaving the library.
... and then write cheap copies without any penalties whatsoever, right?
Yes, that's copyright infringement, not theft
i guess you are not old enough to have seen the old commercials lol
Billions of them? ok
