Let us consider," I said, "a boatload of sailors. Among them, some are undoubtedly worse than others. Some exult in rape and piracy, but others are newly come to it and scarcely have their beards. Some would never imagine robbery, except that their families are starving. Some feel shame after, some do it only because their captain commands it, and because they have the crowd of other men there, to hide among."

"And so," he said, "which do you change, and which do you let go?"

"I change them all," I said. "They have come to my house. Why should I care what is in their hearts?"

He had smiled and lifted his cup to me. "Lady, you and I are in accord. ~ Madeline Miller
Piracy quotes by Madeline Miller
Back in the pre-internet age there were pirate publishers, especially in the third world, who would print physical copies of books, sell them, and never inform the author/their agent/their publisher just trousering the money. I think we can agree that this was piracy? ~ Charles Stross
Piracy quotes by Charles Stross
But it would be broadcast, and in the great public theatre of his age; that unregulated market of braying narcissists, that Wild West of disinformation and fraud, that infinite sea of piracy, the great electorate where the constituency of billions voted their approval with a click of a mouse. The internet. It brought governments down and rewrote history ... ~ Adam Nevill
Piracy quotes by Adam Nevill
She studied his clothes, his top hat. "And you've just come from Parliament? How are you finding that?"
"It's much like piracy. You tell your enemies that if they don't fall in line, you'll leave them to die. ~ Meljean Brook
Piracy quotes by Meljean Brook
The EU and the U.S. often work together to develop international standards. This is the case in fighting terrorism and transnational crime, advancing trade liberalization, and combating piracy and intellectual property violations. ~ John Bruton
Piracy quotes by John Bruton
The internet creates chaos and a dangerous kind of piracy but makes the viewer much more active and gives the voice to minority players. ~ Agnieszka Holland
Piracy quotes by Agnieszka Holland
U.S. failures when it comes to the Gulf of Guinea are many: a failure to address the longstanding concerns of a government watchdog agency, a failure to effectively combat piracy despite an outlay of tens of millions of taxpayer dollars, and a failure to confront corrupt African leaders who enable piracy in the first place. ~ Nick Turse
Piracy quotes by Nick Turse
Having to explain to a child of today, who has learned to swipe before they can speak, that certain aspects of a person's life must remain private for the preservation of one's sanity is almost frivolous. ~ Aysha Taryam
Piracy quotes by Aysha Taryam
If you have the indecency to steal my book, at least have the decency to write a review. ~ Grea Alexander
Piracy quotes by Grea Alexander
LET US STOP IMITATING!!! Piracy and imitations of designs hamper the development and expansion of export trade. It is regrettable that there are quite a few cases of piracy in the People's Republic. Piracy injures the Chinese people's international prestige, causes the boycott of Chinese goods, and makes Chinese designers lose interest in making creative efforts. ~ Richard Condon
Piracy quotes by Richard Condon
Organized labor is organized to take control of an asset away from its rightful owners without paying for it. Organized labor is organization of property by those who don't own it. Organized labor, by driving up the costs of production through coercive means, destroys industries. Organized labor is piracy without the boats and eye patches. Why would anybody want to celebrate organized labor? ~ Douglas Wilson
Piracy quotes by Douglas Wilson
Give people what they want, when they want it, in the form they want it in, at a reasonable price, and they'll more likely pay for it rather than steal it. Well, some will still steal it, but I think we can take a bite out of piracy. ~ Kevin Spacey
Piracy quotes by Kevin Spacey
More often than not, piracy is a symptom of an under-provisioned market. ~ Charles Stross
Piracy quotes by Charles Stross
Piracy doesn't hurt an artist unless the artist puts out a bad album. ~ Eminem
Piracy quotes by Eminem
I looked at Judy as calmly as I could. "Music and movie piracy..." I slipped into a dramatic pause as I desperately tried to come up with some idea, any idea. I scanned the room for inspiration, briefly glimpsed Randy-- I had my answer. "...are terrorism. ~ Rob Reid
Piracy quotes by Rob Reid
It'll be the Internet and piracy that will kill film. There's a philosophy that the Internet should be free, but the reality is that piracy will destroy the film industry and film as an art form because it's expensive to make a movie. Maybe you'll have funky little independent movies, and it'll go back and then start up again some other way. ~ Helen Mirren
Piracy quotes by Helen Mirren
But all of this action goes on in the dark, hidden underground. It's called stealing or piracy, as if sharing a wealth of knowledge were the moral equivalent of plundering a ship and murdering its crew. But sharing isn't immoral - it's a moral imperative. Only those blinded by greed would refuse to let a friend make a copy. ~ Aaron Swartz
Piracy quotes by Aaron Swartz
Protesting against illegal activity is not piracy. ~ Paul Watson
Piracy quotes by Paul Watson
MPAA. The idea that piracy is an effective form of resistance, a direct attack on the corporate empire, is confirmed by the reaction it has provoked: ~ Astra Taylor
Piracy quotes by Astra Taylor
Piracy is a huge, huge issue for all of these major content companies, and everybody has a different way of addressing it. ~ Anne Sweeney
Piracy quotes by Anne Sweeney
Which one was it? He'll pay for it with his life, I swear to you."
"Settle down, Gray. And for God's sake, don't go punching yourself in the eye just to even the score."
Gray shot him a look. "Not amusing, Joss."
"Oh yes, it is. Give me credit for a joke when I make one. It's nothing, Gray. I've had worse. You've given me worse. And it's no more than a man can expect, I suppose, when he's an alleged pirate."
"Piracy charges." Gray cracked his neck. "What a joke." This was the voyage he'd finally gone respectable, and what had it gotten him? Jilted and jailed. No good deed went unpunished. ~ Tessa Dare
Piracy quotes by Tessa Dare
Right," Thatcher said, "let's have a look at her."
Katherine hesitated. The kitten was fast asleep in her arms and she was afraid to wake her.
"Something amiss?" Thatcher asked.
Katherine giggled at her capricious emotions and shoved the kitten into the surgeon's arms. The animal woke up as Thatcher examined it. He set the kitten on the deck and watched as she wobbled around on clumsy paws. "Yes," Thatcher nodded conclusively. "This is indeed a cat. ~ Matt Tomerlin
Piracy quotes by Matt Tomerlin
Piracy is not so much organized crime as it is a business, characterized by extremely efficient capital flows, low start-up costs, and few entry barriers. ~ Jay Bahadur
Piracy quotes by Jay Bahadur
When war is not just it is subsequently justified; so it becomes
many things. In reality, an unjust war is merely piracy.
It consists of piracy, ego and, more than anything, money.
War is our century's prostitution. ~ T. S. Eliot
Piracy quotes by T. S. Eliot
It was a monumental achievement that the serpentine tc'a had once upon a time gotten the knnn to understand the concept of trade: so nowadays knnn simply contacted a station, rushed onto its methane-dock and deposited whatever they liked, grabbed whatever they wanted and left. This was an improvement over their former behavior, in which they simply looted and left. ~ C.J. Cherryh
Piracy quotes by C.J. Cherryh
I think that with piracy and tighter funds being around, people are realising that the game to play is to try and win people's respect with bold film making and then win a special place in people's collections, rather than just having the biggest opening weekends. ~ Riz Ahmed
Piracy quotes by Riz Ahmed
The nice thing about piracy is, it allows the public to get independent art, to get a variety of music and movies. ~ Lloyd Kaufman
Piracy quotes by Lloyd Kaufman
The risks of piracy spreading beyond the Red Sea and Indian Ocean, off the Somali coast, and in the Straits of Malacca and Singapore and beyond are substantial. ~ Peter Middlebrook
Piracy quotes by Peter Middlebrook
He tried to go over the plan with the captain, who interrupted him with a dismissive flick of the hand. "That's not a plan. That's simple piracy. You needn't teach me that."
Arin was taken aback. "Before the war, the Herrani were the best at sea. We gained wealth through sea trade. We weren't pirates."
The captain laughed and laughed. ~ Marie Rutkoski
Piracy quotes by Marie Rutkoski
I want people to know there is more to Somalia than looting and piracy. ~ Michael Palin
Piracy quotes by Michael Palin
It comes for you," Lindsay repeated, her voice hideously broken. "You will pass into the sea nothing more than a blackened scaffold, and your dark mistress will not recall your name, for she has swallowed a million of your lecherous kind before you, and she will swallow a million more before she's done. ~ Matt Tomerlin
Piracy quotes by Matt Tomerlin
In the course of crime ... the descent is rapid. ~ Frederick Marryat
Piracy quotes by Frederick Marryat
Trade is much superior to piracy. You can rob and kill a man but once, but you can cheat him again and again. ~ Louis L'Amour
Piracy quotes by Louis L'Amour
What's gotten into you?" he wondered, blinking in sudden frustration.
"Not you, that's for a certainty. ~ Matt Tomerlin
Piracy quotes by Matt Tomerlin
The director of the FBI has been visiting Silicon Valley companies asking them to build back doors so that it can spy on what is being said online. The Department of Commerce is going after piracy. At home, the American government wants anything but Internet freedom. ~ Evgeny Morozov
Piracy quotes by Evgeny Morozov
We have seen the damage already caused to the music industry and we have to continue to make the public and government bodies globally aware of the damage that will happen if DVD piracy is not brought under control. ~ Callum McDougall
Piracy quotes by Callum McDougall
Piracy is the new radio. ~ Neil Young
Piracy quotes by Neil Young
For over ten years, bombs rained down on every village and hamlet in South Vietnam, and no one budged. It took the coming of a Communist 'peace' to send hundreds of thousands of people out into the South China Sea, on anything that could float, or might float, to risk dehydration, piracy, drowning ... ~ Vernon A. Walters
Piracy quotes by Vernon A. Walters
Marriage and piracy do not go together. ~ Daphne Du Maurier
Piracy quotes by Daphne Du Maurier
What do you want to be a sailor for? There are greater storms in politics than you will ever find at sea. Piracy, broadsides, blood on the decks. You will find them all in politics. ~ David Lloyd George
Piracy quotes by David Lloyd George
Let's face it; people are doing everything online these days. So if they are going to watch my movies, I'm happy as long as it's being bought legally and being exhibited legally, as long as they are paying even a small fee for it. I'm just anti-piracy. If it's a legitimate way of watching film online, then I'm very happy. ~ Vidya Balan
Piracy quotes by Vidya Balan
The German economic historian Fanz Oertel in the 1950s points to another drastic consequence of a slave economy. A slave economy initially allowed an increase of productivity through the invention and use of new machinery. Roman products remained at a simple level and could be reproduced by handicraft. By the fourth century, for example, the robust pottery industry of Greece was in sharp decline because other parts of the empire also learned to make pottery.
"The decline in international trade in the Mediterranean in the fourth century was partly due to increasing piracy, but it was also due to lack of industrial innovation and of need for exchange of manufactured goods. ~ Norman F. Cantor
Piracy quotes by Norman F. Cantor
The Tears of Dark Water is not really "about" Somali piracy. It is about the multi-dimensional fallout of Somalia's disintegration over the past two decades. Piracy offered me a narrative framework to explore not only how a hijacking and hostage crisis could end in tragedy but also how the breakdown of social order on land could inspire young Somalis to take to the ocean. ~ Corban Addison
Piracy quotes by Corban Addison
If you are extremely well known and have a very desirable product, then yes, you probably do suffer a bit from piracy, in the same way that if you make a lot of money, you pay more in taxes than if you don't make any money. ~ Tim O'Reilly
Piracy quotes by Tim O'Reilly
Protect IP (PIPA) and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) are a step towards a different kind of Internet. They are a step towards an Internet in which those with money and lawyers and access to power have a greater voice than those who don't. ~ Ron Wyden
Piracy quotes by Ron Wyden
Now now," he said, setting his hand on her shoulder. He didn't even see her turn. One moment she had her back to him, and the next her face was in his. Tears streamed from narrow, red eyes, her nostrils flared, and her mouth was twisted in a vicious snarl. She could have bitten his nose off if she wanted to. ~ Matt Tomerlin
Piracy quotes by Matt Tomerlin
History has a kindly way of glossing over little faults like brigandage, slaughter, piracy, and assaults on women, especially when the perpetrators possess titles and landed estates. ~ Elizabeth Peters
Piracy quotes by Elizabeth Peters
If you create something, you don't want someone else to go and profit from it; you have your right to make a living and everything. So I respect copyright. What I don't respect is copyright extremism. And I what I don't respect is a business model that encourages piracy. ~ Kim Dotcom
Piracy quotes by Kim Dotcom
In the immediate nearness of the gold, all else had been forgotten [ ... ], and I could not doubt that he hoped to seize upon the treasure, find and board the Hispanola under cover of night, cut every honest throat about that island, and sail away as he had at first intended, laden with crimes and riches. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Piracy quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
Piracy has destroyed the domestic market. ~ Zhang Yimou
Piracy quotes by Zhang Yimou
I oppose piracy and want to see intellectual property protected because that is what fosters and rewards innovation. But SOPA won't accomplish a meaningful reduction in piracy and causes massive collateral damage to the Internet ecosystem. ~ Jared Polis
Piracy quotes by Jared Polis
Piracy is our only option. ~ Emma Thompson
Piracy quotes by Emma Thompson
[Somali maritime violence] is a response to greedy Western nations, who invade and exploit Somalia's water resources illegally. It is not a piracy, it is self defence. It is defending the Somalia children's food. ~ Muammar Al-Gaddafi
Piracy quotes by Muammar Al-Gaddafi
I have called this phenomenon of stealing common knowledge and indigenous science "biopiracy" and "intellectual piracy." According to patent systems we shouldn't be able to patent what exists as "prior art." But the United States patent system is somewhat perverted. First of all, it does not treat the prior art of other societies as "prior art." Therefore anyone from the United States can travel to another country, find out about the use of a medicinal plant, or find a seed that farmers use, come back here, claim it as an invention or an innovation. ~ Vandana Shiva
Piracy quotes by Vandana Shiva
One of the few things left in the world, aside from the world itself, that sadden me every day is an awareness that you get upset if Boo Boo or Walt tells you you're saying something that sounds like me. You sort of take it as an accusation of piracy, a little slam at your individuality. Is it so bad that we sometimes sound like each other? The membrane is so thin between us. Is it so important for us to keep in mind which is whose ... For us, doesn't each of our individualities begin right at the point where we own up to our extremely close connections and accept the inevitability of borrowing one another's jokes, talents, idiocies? ~ J.D. Salinger
Piracy quotes by J.D. Salinger
It's the big boys, the Googles of this world, that are already benefiting from piracy and not paying the artists a dime. ~ Kim Dotcom
Piracy quotes by Kim Dotcom
Deep down, people who deliberately distribute other people's music and stuff feel contempt for professionals. And it's not just culture - these days lots of people are contemptuous of everything. Without realizing it, they're searching for things to despise. ~ Fuminori Nakamura
Piracy quotes by Fuminori Nakamura
Pirates are the very essence of profit maximising entrepreneurs described in neoclassical economics. Yet, whilst films such as 'The Pirates of the Caribbean' and 'Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid' have gone a long way to popularise both pirates and outlaw behaviour, the truth of the matter is that piracy is illegal, and it kills. ~ Peter Middlebrook
Piracy quotes by Peter Middlebrook
I don't think piracy is going to kill the music industry. But digital technology and the ability to download will change the packaging from CDs to a single-based business. ~ Richard Parsons
Piracy quotes by Richard Parsons
Musicians make up for the copies of their songs that get pirated by performing live. I don't think there will be as many people showing up to hear me read as to hear Beyonce sing. We need to make sure piracy is dealt with effectively. ~ Scott Turow
Piracy quotes by Scott Turow
Piracy is not the problem, obscurity is. ~ Seth Godin
Piracy quotes by Seth Godin
They successfully combined piracy and puritanism, which aren't so unlike when you come right down to it. Both had a strong dislike for opposition and both had a roving eye for other people's property. ~ John Steinbeck
Piracy quotes by John Steinbeck
I couldn't be happier teaming up to make the feature with a company as innovative as VICE. There is so much the world doesn't know about piracy in Somalia and the people involved, and I'm excited to be telling a story of piracy in Somalia from a different perspective. ~ Cutter Hodierne
Piracy quotes by Cutter Hodierne
I think piracy is a bit like drinking. You want to stay out all night doing it, you pay the price the next day. ~ Scott Lynch
Piracy quotes by Scott Lynch
The dirty little secret of publishing is that, all along, each book sold has had an average of 5 readers. That's an 80% "piracy" rate if you insist on looking at it in those terms. ~ Charles Stross
Piracy quotes by Charles Stross
seekers of free video, too. In the past year, a program called Popcorn Time has become the kinder, gentler face of piracy online, taming BitTorrent to make it far more userfriendly and less obviously sketchy. Free incarnations for PCs, phones, and tablets look pretty much like Netflix, Hulu, or Amazon Instant Video, except with vastly deeper catalogs ~ Anonymous
Piracy quotes by Anonymous
Reassured that we all have balls, gents?" the captain quipped.
Livingston glanced indicatively at the unconscious girl in the shade. "Not so reassured, captain. ~ Matt Tomerlin
Piracy quotes by Matt Tomerlin
I am Not a Pirate, I merely watch movies and delete them. Never store them on my computer. ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
Back before the internet we had a name for people who bought a single copy of our books and lent them to all their friends without charging: we called them "librarians". ~ Charles Stross
Piracy quotes by Charles Stross
Money lost to piracy is almost a sensible marketing expense. The more people who are talking, the more people who will hear. Some may become buyers. ~ Sean Platt
Piracy quotes by Sean Platt
Ours is an age in which thousands are driven daily from their homelands by the unforgiving brutalities of war, terrorism, political oppression, starvation, disease, economic piracy, and the relentless suffocation of that singular breath which makes human beings individuals. ~ Aberjhani
Piracy quotes by Aberjhani
The HISPANIOLA still lay where she had anchored; but, sure enough, there was the Jolly Roger
the black flag of piracy
flying from her peak. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
Piracy quotes by Robert Louis Stevenson
The approach that the music industry took to fight piracy was the wrong strategy. ~ MC Hammer
Piracy quotes by MC Hammer
Industry is the ceaseless piracy of the rich against the poor. ~ Emma Goldman
Piracy quotes by Emma Goldman
Pirates of Bollywood, or Bollywood of Pirates? - Tough to say. ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
As for piracy, I love to be pirated. It is the greatest compliment an author can have. The wholesale piracy of Democracy was the single real triumph of my life. Anyone may steal what he likes from me. ~ Henry Adams
Piracy quotes by Henry Adams
I am a Pirate, A Pirate of Bollywood ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
Create a Piracy Free World fora Creative Tomorrow ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
British establishment uses "the royal we," as in, "We think this." You hear a lot of that these days. It erroneously suggests that those who are making the decisions to bomb countries, to devastate economies, to take part in acts of international piracy involve all of us. ~ John Pilger
Piracy quotes by John Pilger
Piracy was risky business, and injuries were commonplace; a single lost limb or gouged-out eye could end a pirate's career. To encourage pirates not to hesitate in battle - and out of a sense of fairness - many pirate crews compensated wounded crewmen in predetermined amounts. ~ Robert Kurson
Piracy quotes by Robert Kurson
We need to differentiate between commercial piracy - where criminal organisations produce illicit DVDs on a huge scale - and domestic, unauthorised filesharing, which may or may not be detrimental to overall sales. ~ Nick Harkaway
Piracy quotes by Nick Harkaway
The public feels that if it's on the Internet and you can access it, you deserve it. You haven't committed any kind of crime. We may even have to rename piracy. But in any case, we have to confront it. ~ Morgan Freeman
Piracy quotes by Morgan Freeman
When you start reading nonfiction books about piracy, you realize that it's actually just a history of desperate people. ~ Daniel Handler
Piracy quotes by Daniel Handler
It's easier for our software to compete with Linux when there's piracy than when there's not. ~ Bill Gates
Piracy quotes by Bill Gates
In an honest service there is thin commons, low wages, and hard labor; in this, plenty and satiety, pleasure and ease, liberty and power; and who would not balance creditor on this side, when all the hazard that is run for it, at worst, is only a sour look or two at choking. No, a merry life and a short one, shall be my motto. ~ Bartholomew Roberts
Piracy quotes by Bartholomew Roberts
Wrong and injustice to the poor he resented as an injury to God. His vehement love for the poor is illustrated by his "Epistle to Coroticus," reproaching him with his cruelty, as well as by his denunciations of slavery, which piracy had introduced into parts of Ireland. ~ Aubrey De Vere
Piracy quotes by Aubrey De Vere
Megaupload is not responsible for the piracy problem. It's the old business model of Hollywood that is responsible for it, and they want to keep that model alive at any cost. ~ Kim Dotcom
Piracy quotes by Kim Dotcom
That part of a work of one author found in another is not of itself piracy, or sufficient to support an action; a man may adopt part of the work of another; he may so make use of another's labors for the promotion of science and the benefit of the public. ~ Edward Law, 1st Earl Of Ellenborough
Piracy quotes by Edward Law, 1st Earl Of Ellenborough
Jean grinned down at her, and she handed him something in a small silk bag.
'What's this?'
'Lock of my hair, ' she said. 'Meant to give it to you days ago, but we got busy with all the raiding. You know. Piracy. Hectic life. '
'Thank you, love, ' he said.
'Now, if you find yourself in trouble wherever you go, you can hold up that little bag to whoever's bothering you, and you can say, "You have no idea who you're fucking with. I'm under the protection of the lady who gave me this object of her favour. "'
'And that's supposed to make them stop?'
'Shit no, that's just to confuse them. Then you kill them while they're standing there looking at you funny. ~ Scott Lynch
Piracy quotes by Scott Lynch
Just as the music industry couldn't combat the financial impact of digital piracy, major corporations will have to rethink how to maintain margins when many of their most profitable items can be easily manufactured at home. ~ Jay Samit
Piracy quotes by Jay Samit
The same applies to the music and film industries. Until the heads of the labels start wanting to make money rather than creating controversy, tension, and excuses about why piracy is making the job so hard that no one could do it but them - and oh by the way, they need a raise to really focus in on the fight - the music industry is going to have a very tough time of it. ~ Mark Cuban
Piracy quotes by Mark Cuban
Piracy doesn't bother me that much, to be quite honest. ~ Roland Orzabal
Piracy quotes by Roland Orzabal
I think music piracy is forcing many people to look at the live aspect of the record industry as an income and in many ways that's what sets apart good music and musicians from the fly by night pop sensations. ~ Ben Howard
Piracy quotes by Ben Howard
I think the guys who are sort of infantry in Somali piracy are not unlike low-level drug dealers in urban areas in America, who see it as, you know, not having many other options. I think it comes down to money and needing to survive. ~ Cutter Hodierne
Piracy quotes by Cutter Hodierne
Genua had once controlled the river
mouth and taxed its traffic in a way that couldn't be called piracy
because it was done by the city government, and therefore sound economics
and perfectly all right ~ Terry Pratchett
Piracy quotes by Terry Pratchett
There is a Pirate in every one of us. ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
There is a Pirate in each of us"! ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
We Live in a World Measured by Piracy because Piracy means Access. ~ Kalyan C. Kankanala
Piracy quotes by Kalyan C. Kankanala
For we were thinking of freedom. That's the word like a worm in my brain. Yes? No? How much? How little? The word is a signal for piracy and theft and cunning. We'll be free and the smartest will then be able to enslave the others. But! But there is another meaning to the word. Of all words this one is the most dangerous. We who know must be wary. The word makes us feel good - in fact the word is a great ideal. But it's with this ideal that the spiders spin their ugliest webs for us. ~ Carson McCullers
Piracy quotes by Carson McCullers
The problem for most artists isn't piracy, it's obscurity. ~ Tim O'Reilly
Piracy quotes by Tim O'Reilly
