>> ,----[ Quote ]
>>| Imagine that you are in a world where people are starving. Imagine you have
>>| some bread, and you were confronted with starving people: most would feel a
>>| compulsion to share that bread. But imagine now that you had RMS's special
>>| kind of bread that could be eaten once or a million times: how much greater
>>| would the duty to share that bread with the hungry be? And how much more
>>| despicable would the person who refused to share that bread be?
>>|
>>| Translate this now to the realm of ideas. We are surrounded by people
>>| hungry for knowledge, and we do possess that magic bread - digital copies
>>| of knowledge that can be shared infinitely without diminishing it. Do we
>>| not have a similar moral duty to share that magic bread of digital
>>| knowledge with all those that hunger for it?
