Ripping Song Lyrics

Why do people think they can take song lyrics and put them in other things, (mail, AIM, fourms, sigs....)?
I don't know why, but that really pisses me off! It drives me crazy! If you admire someones lyrics, say you like the song! Don't copy and paste the lyrics into your stuff! Those aren't your lyrics! Dont' take them!

Same as quoting anything, isn't it? Something I'm guilty of, to be honest.

I'm not really bothered by quotes, because I guess they are more or less meant for quoting, (see name: quotes), but when people put song lyrics in things it just really pisses me off.

I see it as paying tribute to the band. For example, I put some of "the wall" into my away message for a while. I agreed with what they said and I put - Pink Floyd at the end of it.

Never underestimate the bandwidth of a station wagon full of tapes hurtling down the highway.

Huh?
Do you think when someone quotes a line, that line was made to be quoted in the first place? That that line was meant to be a quote?
The word "quote" only refers to the fact that it's quoted. I just quoted you...
If I quote lyrics, it becomes a quote as well. I don't see the difference... (as long as you don't pretend it's your own, off course...)

Good Winamp plugins by Joonas, DrO and shaneh.

Actually, strictly speaking the bit in my sig is from a song, but the bit in the song is a sample from a movie...
