"I stipulate: the record companies and the RIAA are evil, rapacious, and stupid. (So was the company whose software I recommended.) And I stipulate that technically what is happening is copyright infringement under the law.Well, the truth is, the law has no bearing on my argument."
I don't need convincing. Further, I stipulate to all you have said below. Every last word. You can post about how evil these folks are, how unjust their prosecutions are, how they deserve to go out of business, or worse. Go ahead, put twenty more such posts below mine. I stipulate to them in advance.
But all it amounts to is rationalization. At the end of the day, you either are a thief or you aren't.
