They hang the man and flog the woman, 
Who steals the goose from off the common, 
Yet let the greater villain loose, 
That steals the common from the goose. 

        – 17th century English ballad

It is such an apt summary of what has been happening to copyright and similar "Intellectual Property" initiatives, over the years.
