Which is what, precisely? Why is he or she not allowed to have it? What interest is being protected, or harm prevented, by the law in question?

How is having a copy of a text you have not compensated the author for different from having a copy of a text you have not compensated the author for? How is either of these different from having a copy of a text you have not compensated the author for or having a copy of a text you have not compensated the author for?

Bonus Question: Who benefits from conflating the ideas of 'sharing' and 'piracy' and focusing all public attention on the first while ignoring the second?

Answers not to exceed 2,500 words per question. All work should be printed and presented in accordance with MLA style guidelines, with the student's ID number included on the cover sheet.
