The pirate presses weren't originally underground or illegal, they just
didn't belong to the printers guild ("Stationers' Company"). The presses
belonging to the guild had a "gentlemen's agreement" not to re-press
books/sheet music/whatever the one press belonging to the guild had already
pressed. That guild had the absolute "right to copy" the book.
But the presses not belonging to the guild didn't follow this "gentlemen's
agreement".

It's "The Corporate Logic", where only the money seems to follow a straight
logical line. Even the theory of relativity is easier to understand...
