Re: comcast issued a letter to me part 2
said by sturmvogel :To see how stupid this is. You have a car that you bought. Someone passes by the street and drawns then makes an exact copy of it, then drives away in "his" copy. Have you lost anything ? Has the original manufacturer of the car lost anything ? People that make movies/music/software are entitled to compensation for their work. People may think the price is too high but no one is being forced to buy it and we certainly don't have the right to copy and distribute their work. While copyright infringement may not technically be theft, it certainly results in theft of income for the artist or programmer.
Still not convinced? Take a $20 bill and make a few hundred copies of it and then pass them at your local convenience store. It's your $20, right? You should be able to copy it right? You haven't stolen anything, right? Sounds legal to me.
So go try it and let us know how it works for you.  |

1 edit | Your argument assumes a p2p user downloads a movie or what have you and then sells it for money, copying a bill and then using it to purchase something. Come up with a argument that is not flawed. |

»phoenixlabs.org/pg2/
he would have protected himself and thous probably would have never happen.
this is all about greed pure and simple. you people who say "don't steal music/movies" well go ahead and get ripped off when you buy a cd or movie. cd's shouldn't have to cost anymore then $10.00.
you people need to understand why this is happening. control pure and simple.

Copyright infringement isn't theft, no matter how many times you say it.
That isn't to say p2p downloaders are right in the infringing act, but that still doesn't make it theft legally or otherwise. |

Why not just use newsgroups and lower you chances of getting caught? |
