Copying is not theft.

Stealing a thing leaves one less left

Copying it makes one thing more;

that’s what copying’s for.

Copying is not theft.

If I copy yours you have it too

One for me and one for you

That’s what copies can do.

If I steal your bicycle

you have to take the bus,

but if I just copy it

there’s one for each of us!

Making more of a thing,

that is what we call “copying”

Sharing ideas with everyone

That’s why copying

is

FUN!

Copying without permission can be a theft of opportunity. If i write a book and you copy it and sell it cheaper or give it away free. You are depriving me of the opportunity to capitalize on my work.
