WORDS ABOUT WORDS
Artists need to be protected from outright thievery of their work by competitors and from its use for commerical profit without permission. I do know a few anti-copyright radicals who walk around in "All Copyright Is Theft" and "Information Wants to Be Free" T-shirts, though it seems to me that those positions are more provocative than practical. But what they do serve to highlight, if only rhetorically, is the climate of cultural and linguistic privatization being advanced through outright copyright and trademark harassment.
—Naomi Klein, Canadian writer, journalist, and activist, No Logo, 1999
