>They literally are thieves of the world's entire intellectual output.

I recall hearing these accusations two decades ago about Google and particularly Google Books. And here I am, an average Joe on the internet, being able to get in a few minutes the specific information I am looking for about any subject, which would have taken me a few days of perusing a library and its databases. If this is thieving, to me it's as if Robin Hood came to town.
