Leonard says that it<\/a> was in fact Zappa, and offers further quotage:<\/p>\n

Maria notes that in fact it’s usually more like “no,” then “mine,” then<\/i> “mama.” I think that only makes the quote more interesting, as does the fact that it relates not at all to free culture, and very well to the MPAA\/RIAA model of purchasing and licensing. To quote Leonard himself, “‘own’ ‘it’ ‘on’ ‘DVD!'”<\/p>\n
