I liked the skill of being able to explain something with a simple drawing. I find the author cautious enough to have drawn around the difference between file sharing and piracy. Details such as "not not stealing" and the non smiling face enforce this idea. I just wanted to promote the way of explaining things with drawings just like the http://commoncraft.com/ http://commoncraft.com/ series.

that is a fair point: I apologise I guess. The image has been doing the rounds in the regular "copyright it evil" discussions as legitimisation of copyright infringement. I think I might have been guilty of a knee jerk reaction. Though I think my analysis still stands :) EDIT: and wow I totally misread the title. All the versions I have seen dont have the second Not. I apologise for missing the subtlety!! :(
