See ya. _________________ Please check out my website: http://www.system17.com

Copyright Law is a law, in the UK a serious breach can result in a prison sentence. _________________ Jimbo Felix's Gaming Pages Felix's Gaming Pages Blog Almost Always Right...

sure. they do it for me.

what about burning the stuff onto CD and selling it on eBay

Wouldn't bother, everyone can do it themselves.

what about not informing your insurance company of a small crash in your car

Sure.

what about hiking up an insurance claim

Never.

what about speeding

I drive a Mustang, so every chance I get on the interstate.

what about taking stuff from a gaming table

Never.

what about taking stuff from a shop

Sometimes when I was younger. ?But I also did much worse then that too.

what about taking stuff from a child

Hell no. How or why would you even ask that?

what about using violence to steal stuff

Of course not.

where do you draw the line?

I guess I don't. I see a curvy line.

which laws are okay to break and which are not?

I wouldn't hurt individuals, but give me a break? I am not going to shed a tear for using copies of GW's books from Kaza. ?Especially after just yesterday Mail Order told me the bitz that still owed me "wasn't a priority of there's." ?Yeah, that is a quote from Patrick.

there is no such thing as a victimless crime, we all suffer in the end (from your example in either more expensive products or no products at all)

I guess I don't care. ?It is going to happen anyway. ?It's like the Music Industry trying to prevent file sharing. ?I am a software developer, and so long as you make something that can be broken down to a 1 or a 0 easier to steal than buy, the only people who won't are the ones really really really feel it is wrong. Lets be honest, if it is cheaper for someone, they'll probably do it.

The law is the law, if you wish to break it, that is your choice, but where do you draw the line.

Well, maybe I shouldn't be so public about all this but I really don't care. ?I won't be making copies for anyone else, and if GW's lawyers come knocking at my door, I hope their cheap ones since stopping me won't stop the masses and it'll be a waste of money. Oh no, I see one morning I'll wake up to a SWAT team kicking down my door looking for copy-writed material.  

Copyright Law is a law, in the UK a serious breach can result in a prison sentence.

I am sure it's the same in the US. ?There are bigger things going on here. ?I'd rather, or hope, law enforcement is focusing on Murder, Child Abuse, pillage, etc. ?Say what you want, but I am really not part of that problem.
