It's a good analogy, but slightly flawed. Libraries provide a service, and book stores provide goods. They can exist fine together because they are targeting different audiences.
Having said that, muni wifi and corporate DSL/Cable are different as well. I'd argue that the former provides better security and piece of mind, unless you're using a wifi router...

You honestly think that there's a singular meaning to life? And that it's to furthur the species? That is not only rediculous, it is zealotry. I'm out for me, and my friends/family. Anything more than that is too grandiose and abstract to be of any use.
I hate to defend something like copyright, but the idea is to provide a sense of asfety. The idea is vaguely like a patent. If you don't have the rights to what you create, then somone can come in and use it easily and you'd have no legal recourse.
...you're saying that people are attacking web sites? Those things that can be easily hacked because they need to be open enough for people to get data from them? You don't say...

If I got this I'd feel like that one dumb kid who had his score doubled because of the grade curve.
So us H2G2 nerds have to have our own summer that didn't end?
To quote Kurt Mendel, "There's actually no such word."
Please put me out of my misery.
So *that's* how you mod yourself down!
Nail, meet head. If you told one of your non-computer-friendly friends to compile something, what are the chances they'll even know what it means?
That sounds too much like wannabe, maybe this David fellow doesn't exist...
IANAL always bothered me. It sounds like a porn ripoff to I Robot.

It's a way for people who want to be individuals to be different, by copying others and without doing the work.

Starbuck just got the arrow of Apollo, give them time man!
Faraday cage?
It's like gmail's counter. Too bad it doesn't benefit (directly) the people viewing it. But it's good to know there's that level of interest.
Just read bash. Give people crack, apparently it's an off button idiots.
(remember mods, this is a joke) (it's so sad I have to say that)
Since it's #0, a prequil, it is neither even nor odd by definition. So we just won't know until we see it.
C'mon, I'm a linux noob and even I get it.

Don't you get it? Copyright isn't about the consumer, it's about the seller. That's why I hate to think that it benefits *anyone.*

User: I've come to ask you a favor. Microsoft: Yes. As you know, I am obligated to offer one call, on this, the day of my software release.
It's like a shell game, which one doesn't belong? I think we all know the answer.
No, they're fries, not frys. Unless you eat electronics stores.
