@ehasbrouck @Yuvalne my point is that it's up to you what to do with the information you received. If you can only think of anything online (because all web server does is copying) as a piracy, it's just your problem. Maybe you should stop pirating others work by stopping browsing the internet.

@a1ba @Yuvalne - I have *authorized* some web server operators to distribute copies of my work. I haven't authorized IA. They haven;t asked. They refuse to even discuss referring visitors wanting my work to an authorized server where they can get an up-to-date legal copy.
