The Pirate's Dilemma
I found this on SlideShare and I felt is was worth re-sharing on this blog. Re-distribution. Re-mixed, perhaps. Not really. This slide show gives a brief history of what “piracy” is or, better yet, what is is perceived to be. It raises some great point and, hopefully, will be able to get your minds thinking about how you can join the revolution or, at the very least, understand it.
According to Wikipedia, the term “piracy” or “pirate” is:
A pirate is someone who commits piracy, i.e. robbery. In modern day terms, it can relate to the stealing of intellectual property, or copyright infringement, such as stealing music off of the internet.
Although, I think the other definition of piracy is more interesting:
Piracy is a robbery committed at sea, or sometimes on the shore, by an agent without a commission from a sovereign nation.
