- An interesting Debate... Although I must agree that Piracy can't be equated
- to theft directly... In principal yes but not directly...
-
- Take this as a small example of what I mean.
-
- 5 people chip in to buy that new game or whatever... Under most people's
- definition that is Piracy but each person believes they are "morally" correct
- since they did pay for the program (at least partially)...
-
- Is this Piracy? And if so who gets set to jail all 5 or an arbitrary 4 of the
- 5? Also what was stolen?
-
- Comments? (surely) Flames? (probably)
