• Pero toda esta acción se desarrolla en la oscuridad, oculta bajo tierra. Se le llama robo o piratería, como si compartir la riqueza del conocimiento fuera el equivalente moral de saquear un barco y asesinar a su tripulación. Pero compartir no es inmoral: es un imperativo moral. Sólo los cegados por la codicia se negarían a que un amigo hiciera una copia.

• We need to take information, wherever it is stored, make our copies and share them with the world. We need to take stuff that's out of copyright and add it to the archive. We need to buy secret databases and put them on the Web. We need to download scientific journals and upload them to file sharing networks... With enough of us, around the world, we’ll not just send a strong message opposing the privatization of knowledge - we’ll make it a thing of the past. Will you join us?

• Pero como todo poder, hay quien quiere quedárselo para sí. Todo el patrimonio científico y cultural del mundo, publicado durante siglos en libros y revistas, está siendo cada vez más digitalizado y guardado bajo llave por un puñado de empresas privadas. ¿Quiere leer los artículos con los resultados más famosos de las ciencias? Tendrá que enviar enormes cantidades a editoriales como Reed Elsevier.

• ¿Qué es "este impulso"? Es la tendencia a no aceptar simplemente las cosas como son, sino a querer pensar en ellas, comprenderlas. No conformarse con estar triste, sino preguntarse qué significa la tristeza. No contentarse con conseguir un abono de autobús, sino pensar en las razones económicas por las que tiene sentido conseguirlo. A esta tendencia la llamo intelectual.
