Re: Nice.. No, an illegal cable or sat connection is theft of service.
Copying a file is Copyright Infringement.
While illegal, no theft occurs.

Downers Grove, IL | Interesting but flawed defense. The only difference is the wording of a law. Practically, there is zero difference. That performance you are "not" stealing is indeed a service. |

Cable or sat, is/are provided and kept up as a service... as is power or water.

Practically, there is zero difference. <tongue in cheek>In related news, 75153785  declares that the only difference between speeding, murder, and copyright infringement is the wording of the law. As they are all crimes, they practically the same thing.</tongue in cheek>
The fact that they have differences in the wording of the law makes it impossible for them to be "practically...zero difference". Saying that theft and copyright infringement is the same is just showing legal ignorance. |
