Nest of Pirates

"I was shocked to discover a nest of pirates yesterday, operating brazenly right here in my hometown. They were gathered in a large nondescript building, reading and talking quietly and in some cases listening to music. Some kind of social club, perhaps? Yes, but with a profoundly subversive theme: 'sharing' content. This establishment houses large collections of books, magazines, audiotapes, videotapes, CDs, DVDs. And it 'shares' these with its patrons. I watched in amazement as people left the building carrying armloads of these content assets, which they 'borrow' without paying a nickel to the copyright holders. It's frightening, really. Who knew?" [Jon's Radio]

Of course, Jon is being facetious. Pat Schroeder wasn't.
