Except there were no promise.
Another guy just said there were. It was more specific, but "piracy" violates it anyway.
So without an agreement you don't get the book, unless it's a copy given by another person who violated the agreement without which they couldn't have gotten it.
With an agreement there is that promise.
Seems a simple enough thought.
Imagine if there were replicators - devices that can copy anything including food, clothes, any device(even itself), housing, anything. But instead of fixing actual problems with it we would discuss who promised to not copy what.
Well, at least this is distant enough future, we don't even have device that can copy any information including how to make food, clothes, any device(even itseld), housing, anything, so there is no pro-- Wait, WE HAVE IT! We have information replucator and we are talking about who promised to not copy what.
