“I was at a conference in Taiwan. At
that time, I knew that intellectual property rights were not always strictly
enforced there. During a break in the conference, I had a little time to go to a
bookstore. As I went to the store, I had a debate in my mind about what I hoped
to see when I arrived. On the one hand, there was the possibility that they had
stolen my intellectual property, that they had pirated one or more of my books.
As we all know, theft is a terrible thing, and stealing intellectual property
is a form of theft, so that would have been terrible. The other
possibility was that they had not pirated one of my books and stolen my intellectual
property, that they had ignored me. As I walked to the bookstore, I came to the
conclusion that being ignored is far worse than having one’s property stolen,
and I resolved that I would actually be much happier if they had stolen my
intellectual property than if they had ignored me. When I got to the bookstore,
they had in fact stolen it, and I was relieved".
