That should have been "only not denying" (which rather alters the sense).

I don't have the energy to respond to any of the replies: other than to
say if you really think this kind of thing is OK you do not have a very
firm grasp of economics.

Be that as it may, Michele Boldrin and David Levine have such a firm
grasp of economics that both have doctorates in economics, and they
happen to agree with me: http://www.againstmonopoly.org/

No such insane notion could be called a ``right'', only a wrong.

Enforcing such a ``right'' requires a Nineteen-Eighty-Four-like police state.
Cameras in every livingroom and bedroom, spyware in every machine, etc.

If you own a thing, you can use it however you like.

You own your properly obtained copy of a copyrighted work.
