By re-editing and re-publishing materials you do not have copyright to, are these practices not worse than Yona Maro's "crimes"?

I have been privileged to work with members of his family through the years, including both Presidents Bush, 41 and 43. It is also good to be here on campus again. I visited in January 2010, almost three years ago. It was one day after Haiti was struck by a devastating earthquake. President Levin and the Yale community generously contributed to help the Haitian people. He has also actively participated in the Global Colloquium of University Presidents, which advances global thinking on a range of important issues, from climate change to gender empowerment and the Millennium Development Goals. Yale is an extraordinary university that has made its mark in the United States and around the world. Yale put its stamp on the United Nations -- literally. The United Nations logo – a symbol of hope for people around the world – was designed by a Yale graduate named Donal McLaughlin. I proudly wear his design every day. The logo signifies peace and better times ahead. It sends that message in many ways – on the blue helmet of a peacekeeper … on a flag showing refugees where they can find shelter … on the shirt of a relief worker who is bringing desperately needed food to hungry people. I saw that symbol myself as a young child in war-torn Korea – and it told me and my country that the world would be there for us. Mr. McLaughlin showed great diplomatic skill and wisdom in bringing the logo into being. Governments wanted the logo to feature the earth, but differed on which side of the planet to show. Mr. McLaughlin's design depicted all continents equally. Some people suggested that there should be links binding the countries together. Others feared this would look like the world was in chains. Mr. McLaughlin's solution was to frame the globe with olive branches – the timeless symbol of peace. And so the seal was born – a Yalie's lasting legacy to the United Nations. The world has changed dramatically since then. But the need for hope remains. We are now living in a time of dramatic transition. The political landscape is shifting, as people across the world rightly demand freedom, accountability and equal opportunity. The economic landscape is also evolving, as new powers emerge and global interdependence deepens. The changes are environmental, too, as we strive to pull back from overstepping the planet's natural limits. This is a time of turmoil, vulnerability and change. We are living in an era of insecurity, inequality, injustice and intolerance. We face a burning question: How do we shape solutions for a more secure and prosperous future? In my conversations with world leaders and encounters with people around the world, I return again and again to three common themes. First, leaders need to listen -- really listen -- to their people. Second, all of us need to connect the dots among the challenges we face so that advances in one area generate gains in others. Third, we need to find linkages not just among policies, but between people -- and create new constellations of partnerships and alliances to get things done. That is the most effective way to solve problems in our networked world. Let me focus first on the upheavals across the Arab world. For too long, people were denied opportunities, freedoms and dignity -- their very voice. And for too long, too many trading and security partners of deeply flawed regimes were content with
