I don't think I should be able to steal or pirate your work.

I do think I should be allowed to read your book & do math with it.

>I do think I should be allowed to read your book & do math with it.

This is such a painfully obtuse construction of what is occurring that it escapes any reasonable discussion.

[ycombinatrix]

Up to you. You can stop people from reading your book but you can't stop people from doing math.

[freejazz]

You are being obtuse, copying is "just math" and is already illegal. "Just math" is not a legal argument, this is childish.
