When I read this it seemed very familiar like the same or close to what came in my newsletter. Again I am sorry when you shared something that could have been helpful to many posters reading the article. Phillipa

> - ScottBesides the fact that Internet piracy is just wrong, ugly, immature, petty and selfish, references to sources are important in intellectual discourse because readers need to consider the source. In this case the editor in chief of the source from which this article was pirated -- Robert M. Post, M.D. -- has been paid by Abbott, AstraZeneca, Bristol-Myers Squibb, Glaxo-SmithKline, Jansen, and Pfizer. That information is disclosed in his publication, as it should be, but was not disclosed here because pirates often do not care about such ethical nuances.
By the way, what do you care about? Why is it so important to pirate this material without going through the intellectual exercise of assimilating, paraphrasing, citing and linking to the source? Laziness? Self-importance? Making one's self look intelligent?
Do you think you are above standard copyright protections respected by most civil societies? Am I wrong that reasonably intelligent people such as yourself do not appreciate the difference between sharing a link and pirating an entire article without attribution?
Do you suffer some sort of psychopathic disorder that causes you to presume the rules that apply to everyone else don't apply to you? Perhaps a smaller hippocampus that stores less information that would provide emotional signals about the social consequences of things like piracy?
Do you think you could learn not to pirate intellectual property if carefully trained in societal expectations, and that trained prefrontal planning could help you overcome hippocampal deficiencies? Do you think it is supportive and educational for a person to suggest that possibility in the context of your extant behavior?
