[Кирилл Сызранский]

" On which side should be the audience, the question arises as to whether the book such as" Robinson Crusoe ' or " Pilgrim's Way ' be in any home, or they should be imprisoned in the libraries of the rich for the benefit of great-grandson of the publisher , who paid a hundred years ago, a tiny amount of the author when he was in need? also bear in mind that if only a violation of literary property will cease to be regarded as reprehensible , no one can say how far it will go . audience rarely makes a successful separation such cases . "

Thomas Macaulay , A speech delivered in the House of Commons 5th February 1841
