"It’s a dangerous myth, that we should all need permission any time
we’re getting value out of a piece of culture. And it’s one that gets
entrenched deeper each time we accept the idea that we’re able to make
use of a work because a copyright owner is or would be OK with it, and
not just because we have a basic right to participate in culture that is
more fundamental than anybody else’s desire to maximize profits."
More on the problems of overzealous copyright enforcement even when
there is no copyright to enforce.
