If you had an audio CD and you had to listen to a voice reminding you
that Piracy Is Theft" for 30 seconds before you could listen to it,
would you try and rip the tracks off it so that you could hear them
without interference? Does anyone actually read the copyright
information on the first pages of every book they buy? Of course not,
they skip them.

It seems to me that the ones who bleat loudest about copyright notices are those who habitually ignore copyright completely. Perhaps they don't like being reminded that what they are doing is illegal.
