Thailog80 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Nope, he's very expensive. But, what does he have to do with this? 142892[/snapback]
Dan Gross Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Yeah but, the plastic cup still would have hit Artest in the head............. 142873[/snapback] Not if we repeal the law of gravity it wouldn't. I think we should. There are already too many laws that are trying to keep a man down!
TracyLee Posted December 2, 2004 Author Posted December 2, 2004 142895[/snapback] I was being sarcastic, I guess my humor is lost on you !
DC Tom Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I'm sure Sony realizes that the problem isn't a 15 year-old kid. 142881[/snapback] It depends. How many movies is "tons". If it's a thousand, that's a pretty serious chunk of change...a pretty seriously prosecutable chunk of change. And if the computer's always on and always hooked up to the internet...that's distribution. Multiply that thousand movies by a thousand downloads...now you're talking real money. I doubt that's the case; I doubt his downloads and uploads are nearly that much (a thousand movies is maybe 2 terabytes of data, for starters). But even one is illegal...it's just not cost-effective for Sony to go after a single download. And honestly...I don't get the mindset of "It's illegal...but no big deal." Particularly when it comes to copyright violation. Hell, if I skim a book at a bookstore and get something useful out of it...I buy it, simply because I've already benefited from the author's intellectual property, and I believe that to not purchase the book after deriving that benefit would be theft. So maybe - just maybe - I'm overly anal on the subject ( )...but tie idea that you'd actively help your son commit copyright violations is beyond me...
Thailog80 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I was being sarcastic, I guess my humor is lost on you ! 142902[/snapback] Nah I guess Im just so used to reading howlers from you.
DC Tom Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 I seen this thread... 11 pages? Let me guess, there is great moral significance in on the preceeding pages? Another guess... BF is involved? 142894[/snapback] Great moral significance only in as much as a BF-induced philosophical tar-baby ever has any...
VABills Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 but tie idea that you'd actively help your son commit copyright violations is beyond me... 142905[/snapback] Why would he wear a tie to commit a felony?
stevestojan Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Why would he wear a tie to commit a felony? 142913[/snapback] it's a white collar crime.
VABills Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 it's a white collar crime. 142920[/snapback] Sorry I missed that. I thought he was going to throw punches (closed fisted) if someone threw a DVD at him.
Dan Gross Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Why would he wear a tie to commit a felony? 142913[/snapback] They tend to let you off easier if you look presentable.
stevestojan Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Sorry I missed that. I thought he was going to throw punches (closed fisted) if someone threw a DVD at him. 142926[/snapback] No, he was going to throw ron artest at you if you ever copied one of his movies off of HBO... i think....
VABills Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 No, he was going to throw ron artest at you if you ever copied one of his movies off of HBO... i think.... 142936[/snapback] Is that legal?
stevestojan Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Is that legal? 142938[/snapback] only if you own the Ron Artest... and I'm not even gonna open that can of worms...
Dan Gross Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 No, he was going to throw ron artest at you if you ever copied one of his movies off of HBO... i think.... 142936[/snapback] Oh, so that's what they mean when they say "You are under artest!"
Dan Gross Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Why is it illegal to throw a plastic cup but perfectly legal for the judge to throw the book at you? Are judges above the law?
DC Tom Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 Why is it illegal to throw a plastic cup but perfectly legal for the judge to throw the book at you? Are judges above the law? 142947[/snapback] It's illegal to throw a plastic cup full of beer. Waste of beer, I guess...
Alaska Darin Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 If I came and stole a DVD from your house would you have the same reaction as if I stole your car? I doubt it. 142659[/snapback] If you came and stole a DVD from my house, they'd be replacing carpet.
Thailog80 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 If you came and stole a DVD from my house, they'd be replacing carpet. 142956[/snapback] and ammunition...
VABills Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 and ammunition... 142961[/snapback] "One round only" actually three, because I would double tap in that kind of a situation.
Thailog80 Posted December 2, 2004 Posted December 2, 2004 "One round only" 142966[/snapback] Where's the sport in that?
