In fact I wish I had perfect copies of some tickets I used in the past instead of just the stubs, stubs are good enough but the full ticket with some of my playbills, that'd be kind of cool.
Thank you HansTWN, at first i was a bit dubious on this copying of tickets idea but you've sold me on it, so where do I get these perfect copies and can this copier make nice playbills too? Some of mine are a bit beat up.
Anyway since you equate infringement to theft, what do you think of the way overly long copyrights pushed by big media companies rape the public domain. I mean I'm sure there's plenty of inflammatory words to go with piracy and theft.

You can over analyze any example. Just disregard the part that has no relevance to our discussion here. And may I suggest you take a look at some of those advanced laser printers out there?
I am with you that copyrights are too long. I wouldn't call it rape, however. But let us take this at face value -- someone else does something wrong, so that justifies our wrongdoing? Corporate greed justifies personal greed?
So I understand you correctly
, you only object to overly long protection and you agree unauthorized copying is theft when it occurs within a reasonable period, let us just say 20 years (or whatever)?
