Quotes from the episode


Just because you are an academic and you made a copy doesn’t mean it is for an academic purpose.
-Thomas Tobin

We hear more about what you can’t do, rather than what you can.
-Thomas Tobin

The law is the last resort. The law only applies when there is no other permission or license in place.
