T-Bone Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 If you are hanging out with a female who likes Star Trek, you have much bigger issues than copywrite violations. 144040[/snapback] She is married and is a pain in the butt, and I would love an excuse to refuse to do this that would not make me look like a bad guy.
Gavin in Va Beach Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 steve...speeding is illegal, downloading is illegal...I just think that some people may view these "crimes" as less damaging to society, than say...rape, armed robbery or murder. 143988[/snapback] ~NG~ = BF
T-Bone Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 ~NG~ = BF 144048[/snapback] Low blow Gavin, you must be looking for payback for those log cabin Republican remarks. AND I AM STILL A HAPPY PROUD RED SOX FAN!!!!!
VABills Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 so that's like being a little pregnant? Either it's legal or not...a crime is a crime...isn't it? 144046[/snapback] Severity of crime. I would never condone my child speeding or downloading movies. Again, if she was to do one or the other, I would hope she went 5 over the limit however. And it's not like being a little pregnant. It's more like getting in a fight and slapping someone versus shooting someone.
Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Thank's Rico. Hey, I think I've got this figured out and will use the information I got in this thread to great advantage. Thanks in advance for all the help. Here's my plan. My son is an electrician. He's way cool with wires and switches and technical thingies like that. I was talking with him the other day about a special little "project" I've been thinking about since I started reading this monumental thread to the American free spirit. He's a really nice kid. Still lives at home with him mom and dad, and he's just trying to help out in his own way. He's figured out a way - get this - to tap into the power company's lines and bring free power into the house. He can wire up another box with most of the house's wiring on it and we will use that for our own personal downloaded electricity - FOR FREE! I mean, like we'd still have to have a meter and that box thingie in the basement so the power company wouldn't know, but most of the house will be on the FREE electricity lines! Is that cool or what? I'm so proud of my son. He thinks it'll be ok as long as we don't run extension chords over to the neighbor's house. So on card night, I've got to keep it a secret from the guys. No problemo as long as I keep the wife locked up in the root cellar. Like I said, no problemo. Well, you know I just said it'll be "free" exectricity, but before you start slinging the moral tide of abuse my way, just remember this: I've got a lot of wire and a whole other service box and circuit breakers to buy. And believe you me, that's gonna cost a TON! PLUS I'm going to have to do a lot of the actual work. My son didn't exactly tell me he'd do this, he just said he'd tell me HOW to do it. And for any of you puny punks that think I'm doing sumpf'n wrong, YOU'RE responsible for the moral decline in society - not me! If you didn't have those friggin standards, they wouldn't ever be violated, now would they? Besides, the power company has tons of lines and power stations and transformers all over the place, and for what they charge for electricity, they should be delivering it to your house personally in a large truck. Anyway, all of this electricity I'll be downloading will be for use in my house, by my family, for our own personal use. Life is good. I'm such a lucky guy! 144043[/snapback] how long did it take you to come up with that story?

I'm such a lucky guy! 144043[/snapback] Reminds me of a story I heard a couple years ago about a guy that while his neighbors were away, went into their house (they gave him a key to watch the place) and hooked into their service panel. Then he buried a cable between the two homes. So now his house was powered from their service panel. The way he got caught is his house caught fire, and when they went to after cutting power to the house, his lights were still on.
VABills Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 She is married and is a pain in the butt, and I would love an excuse to refuse to do this that would not make me look like a bad guy. 144047[/snapback] Have her read your posts here. She will realize quickly you are off your rocker.
Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 ~NG~ = BF 144048[/snapback] yeah..that was constructive...ever done anything illegal Gavin?
Nanker Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 how long did it take you to come up with that story? 144054[/snapback] Less time than it took to read this friggin thread, I can tell you that!
Gavin in Va Beach Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 yeah..that was constructive...ever done anything illegal Gavin? 144061[/snapback] All the time. I'm not posting on a message board on how I can help my son get away with it though...nor would I. I may be weak and flawed, but I don't have make it easy for my son to carry on a weak and flawed legacy. Your emotional response to this could lead one to believe that a similar situation is occuring in the Nervous Household and you are a little...well...you know.

GG Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Well, what about ebay? Sellers are openly selling and distributing copied music, movies and software, and people are buying it. If it's illegal then why no repercussions there? 143839[/snapback] Maybe the little thing that's called "paying for an item you bought" When was the last time you got a shared" item off eBay? Keep rationalaiing it.
IUBillsFan Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I never questioned whether or not it's illegal. 144004[/snapback] Didn't say you some in the thread think it is legal...big mistake IMO
Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 Didn't say you some in the thread think it is legal...big mistake IMO 144104[/snapback] I never said "you some" ....I said some may think it's legal...that doesn't mean I think that.
IUBillsFan Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I never said "you some" ....I said some may think it's legal...that doesn't mean I think that. 144108[/snapback] I relly wished people woud stp makeing funn of mine gramer...Or I wish I could type a coherent sentence every once in a while...
Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I relly wished people woud stp makeing funn of mine gramer...Or I wish I could type a coherent sentence every once in a while... 144116[/snapback] no worries...just wait until you slip up and reveal something that you do that's illegal.
Alaska Darin Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 no worries...just wait until you slip up and reveal something that you do that's illegal. 144122[/snapback] I don't always stop before the stop line. But I'm a miserable prick.
VABills Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I don't always stop before the stop line. But I'm a miserable prick. 144125[/snapback] Okay I admit, I have been known to pass gas in public.
Nervous Guy Posted December 3, 2004 Posted December 3, 2004 I don't always stop before the stop line. But I'm a miserable prick. 144125[/snapback] you dirty bastard! what example are you setting for your children...not only your children, but all children? they'll grow up and turn into criminals!
