The main purpose of life is to live rightly think rightly act rightly. The soul must languish when we give all our thought to the body.
I never thought of losing but now that it' s happened the only thing is to do it right. That's my obligation to all the people who believe in me. We all have to take defeats in life.
Property is intended to serve life and no matter how much we surround it with rights and respect it has no personal being. It is part of the earth man walks on. It is not man.

Vigorous enforcement of copyrights themselves is an important part of the picture. But I don't think that expanding the legal definition of copyright outside of actual copyright infringement is the right move.
