They hang the man and flog the woman, 
Who steals the goose from off the common, 
Yet let the greater villain loose, 
That steals the common from the goose. 

        – 17th century English ballad
I'm going to bring that quote up myself, from time to time... (I just hope the people I'm addressing get the reference)

It is such an apt summary of what has been happening to copyright and similar "Intellectual Property" initiatives, over the years.
