Movies become art after editing. Instead of just reproducing reality, they juxtapose images of it. That implies expression; that's art.

It's good to like yourself, and that only comes from hard work, from doing. But vanity is dangerous; it can trip you badly.

The Audio Home Recording Act directly says that noncommercial copying by consumers is lawful.

That strategy of buy and hold, which is the sound and sensible one for the individual, can have very dangerous and perverse effects for the market as a whole.
