- Come on Jack...
-
- First you say that pirating is against the law, and therefore inexcusable.
- Now when confronted with a society which allows pirating without breaking
- a law, you want to throw it out as not pertinent.
-
- People disobey laws which they do not agree with all of the time. Perhaps
- you don't, and that is interesting, but we are not talking about JUST you,
- and your belief that American Law is one True Religion.
-
- By the way, "Copyright Law" is not a single standard entity. It baries
- greatly all around the world, and when a nation-state holds a different
- policy and therefore a different view on the subject, it does not mean
- they do not recognize this "Copyright Law" of yours, it means they have
- their own.
