Not if we repeal the law of gravity it wouldn't. :w00t:

I think we should. There are already too many laws that are trying to keep a man down!

I'm sure Sony realizes that the problem isn't a 15 year-old kid.

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 ( :w00t: )...but tie idea that you'd actively help your son commit copyright violations is beyond me...

I seen this thread... 11 pages?

 

Let me guess, there is great moral significance in on the preceeding pages?  Another guess... BF is involved? :ph34r:

Great moral significance only in as much as a BF-induced philosophical tar-baby ever has any...
