You are reading in language which was never used to argue against a case

that was not made. He didn't claim that it was right to "make" people ask,

he just said that asking was the decent thing to do, something with which I

fully agree. The same technologies that make copying infinitely more easy

also make communication infinitely more easy, so I don't see why its an

invasion of liberty to seek permission for appropriation whenever possible.
