На изображении показана страница книги «In Defense of Looting» рядом с её обложкой. Красным маркером обведено стандартное предупреждение издателя о том, что сканирование, загрузка и распространение книги без разрешения являются кражей интеллектуальной собственности. Шутка в ироническом контрасте между названием книги, защищающей мародёрство, и требованием не красть саму книгу; этот мем используют как реакцию на лицемерие или забавное противоречие. EN: The image shows a page from the book “In Defense of Looting” next to its cover. A standard publisher’s warning is circled in red, stating that scanning, uploading, and distributing the book without permission is theft of intellectual property. The joke comes from the ironic contrast between a book defending looting and its demand that people not steal the book itself; people use this meme to react to hypocrisy or a funny contradiction.
