Agreed, but in both cases you are commiting a crime unless the authors allows
copying of their works.

How very different is that from using software for sometime and then going in
for upgrades/updates ?? Also, have you heard about the 'software as a service
business model' ??
In any case all this is not related to Open Source Software. We are drifting
into the business models for the software industry in general. I hope you
understood the point about how OSS does not mean hungry programmers.

Once, when the secrets of science were the jealously guarded property
of a small priesthood, the common man had no hope of mastering their arcane
complexities. Years of study in musty classrooms were prerequisite to
obtaining even a dim, incoherent knowledge of science.
Today all that has changed: a dim, incoherent knowledge of science is
available to anyone.
