>I said people who were fucked MIGHT be justified in stealing from those who fucked them, my point was that I'm not justified.No, they're NOT justified, not if you care about the law, that is. You appear to care a lot about the law when it suits yr argument, but here you are saying that you MIGHT justify theft. Quite a conundrum here, hmmm? I thought stealing was stealing, PERIOD. Or is situational ethics only okay when YOU'RE the one engaging in it?
>So what's his recourse? Copyright infringement?I never said that, and if that's what he's going to do, that's illegal activity that does not constitute recourse so far as I'm concerned. What's his recourse, indeed! He just might be the victim of fraud, which is NOT the same as signing a bad deal. It's a matter of being sold something that was represented to be functional, and, instead, it was not. I guess the only recourse is to go to small claims court. Unless you have any better ideas, that is.
What's that? It's not worth it to pay more to file the case than the amount of the damages? Oh, well, I guess he's just f*cked, then, isn't he. Too bad.
Sorry, I object to this. Strenuously. Illegal file-sharing devalues music. But so does this, and I have my own small stake in that. Do you?
>And like I said, they never stole anything from me.Oh, I guess it's okay then.
>You're right, I've no need to steal from copyright holders, nor have I any need to rationalize such behavior.Well, I don't know who that's supposed to be directed at, since I rationalize no such thing. However, if you knew anything about what copyright holders have been known to do to those who created the work that the copyrights are based on, you might feel differently. Now, I wouldn't go so far as to suggest that you should find it in yr heart to justify stealing, but you might be moved to think about issues you post about beyond the perfectly obvious that one sees on the surface, and how that impacts on you, or doesn't. I have a feeling that illegal file-sharing impacts negatively on me more than it does on you. Rational and critical thinking needs to be applied to this issue to produce a feasible legal result, and I say yr outrage doesn't help.
>Copyright infringement is theftIt is? I guess you didn't check this link that I dropped elsewhere in this thread. The linked post occurs approximately halfway through the discussion, which I recommend you take a look at if you believe what you just posted. Then perhaps you might want to take a look at a post I just put up in response to Sordidman & then get back to me if you want.
If you don't, fine. But I'm telling you flat-out you don't help matters here.
