No, wrong. Or else teachers would be able to make copies of textbooks, and they're not.

Yeah, this is definitely wrong. Giving away something you don't own is still illegal.

Google's gotten worse, but some people are still asking it questions in natural language and have absolutely no idea how quotes work.

A good post about the kinds of arguments people use online, including tactics which are about the argument itself or some of the people involved in the argument, as opposed to being about the argument's supposed topic.

You should know this to, one, avoid pointless "debates" where no actual issues get debated, two, to improve your own debate style to focus on the issues that need to be debated most, and, three, to see when others are merely acting like they're debating without actually debating the core issues the debate is supposed to be about.
