- Chuq von Rospach posts a message in which he suggests that he is going to
- stop carrying and forwarding copyright-violating materials on machines
- for which he's responsible.
-
- Bravo!
-
- I'm appalled that this has been permitted to go on for as long as it
- has.
-
- Anticipating messages objecting to this on various grounds, including
- wrapping oneself in the flag, in cries of censorship, and in cries
- of it's o.k. to violate laws the speaker thinks unfair, let me suggest
- that any such responses constitute advocating the commission of a crime
- and are out of court on their face.
-
- I post the above paragraph prior to any responses to Chuq (that I've
- seen) so that nobody takes it personally.
-
- Although Chuq anticipates a flame war about this, it should be possible
- for civilized, intelligent, and educated people to discuss this issue,
- which is substantive, calmly, and without resort to personal remarks.
