Feel free to copy

Allright.So, i have had rigid views on copying stuff, academically or otherwise since i was a kid. But, things change over time. And, so do people ( Half-tempted to use another link from casablanca's blog, again!! :) ). Anyway, i had an eye-opener in an organic chemistry exam, where all rules were broken. I have had some bad experiences, in terms of cogging. I almost got flunked in a humanities class, thanks to a friend of mine, who masterminded more than half of the copying network set up in those days. One of my other friends ( most penn state people who i am talking about ;)) did some serious copying and got into trouble.

I think copying should be made legal. It is one of the greatest virtues, human beings have been ever endowed with. How, you say? The same attrocious, fallacious argument Ayn rand uses to justify selfishness and pig-headedness. Pointy is also a proponent of plagiarisation. Infact, 100% of his PJs are stolen from somewhere. In his own wise words,"The trick is people should not know the source". I think that is a great idea. I will claim it as my own, now on. Junta do it, anyways. Even, in tech circles, they do it freely. Euphemistically, they call it "reverse engineering". And, i am totally up for it. Bury creativity! Punish those smug over achievers! There should not be any copyrights, only the right to copy! Like the freedom of expression.
