Jonathan Liew’s elegy to honesty (Copyrighted art, mobile phones, Greenland: welcome to our age of shameless theft, 28 January)( was as elegant as usual. But he’s missed one crucial factor: the (then utopian) expectation that on the internet everything should be free – an expectation that, once normalised, has had a toxic effect on media right across the world.

• I note that the Guardian has “reached out to” the Kennedy Center for comment (Philip Glass withdraws world premiere of his Lincoln symphony from Kennedy Center, 27 January). Could it not have “contacted” the organisation instead? This would have saved two unnecessary words.

• When I hear the name Romeo (Letters, 28 January) my first thought is not of Zoe Williams’s dog nor a Shakespeare play, but my Alfa Romeo 156. A lovely car that took corners better than Beckham.

• Re duvets (Letters, 29 January), we’ve just spent a few days in Copenhagen and enjoyed a king-size bed with two single duvets – highly recommended if you struggle with double duvet covers.

• We found the trick to putting on a double duvet cover on YouTube. Lay the cover inside out and the duvet on top, then roll together towards the open end, like a swiss roll. Now pull the mouth of the cover over the ends of the duvet roll, and unroll. Magic.
