“When this book’s de­sign­er came up with the title, Copy This Book, she was play­ing off Ab­bie Hoff­man’s guide to counter-cul­tur­al liv­ing Steal This Book (1971), just like Oakland-based hip-hop band The Coup did with Steal This Album (1998), later joined by Detroit punk rock band The Suicide Machines with Steal This Record (2001) and Armenian-American heavy metal band System of a Down with Steal This Album! (2002). Robert Greenwald made Steal This Movie! (2000) and Paraguay Press pub­lished an artist’s book by Dora Garcia en­titled Steal This Book (2009).” (Chapter 5.2 on writing) So she thought of Abbie Hoffman… but when she suggested it my first association was System of a Down as well :)
