Dan Gross Posted December 2, 2004 Share 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DC Tom Posted December 2, 2004 Share 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...

DC Tom Posted December 2, 2004 Share 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... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alaska Darin Posted December 2, 2004 Share 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?
