>Scott concludes: “To use the >infringement-as-stealing meme >demonstrates something of a lack >of respect for language and >consequently a lack of respect for >the people to whom you are >speaking.”

Yeah, and this doofus has a lack of respect for other’s hard work.

Try your lawyer-spin on this one Scott:

Find out when your local bookstore is having a booksigning featuring the author of a new release. Go to the bookstore with a copy machine on a handcart.

Walk up to the table where the author is signing books, and grab a copy from the unsigned pile without paying him. Find a wall outlet, plug in your copy machine, and copy every page, making sure not to harm the book in any way. Then return it to the pile exactly where you got it, and tell the author, “Hey, thanks buddy, I really appreciate it!”

I’m sure that the author wouldn’t wouldn’t mind at all that you are reading two years of his hard work for free without his permission right?

You all have enough balls to steal over the internet… would you have enough balls to do it in front of the content creator’s face? I bet none of you would… and even if you did, you would get locked up before you made it to the parking lot… definitely for petty theft, and possibly for copyright infringement.

Funny how it is theft in person but all of a sudden when things go digital and distant you all think it is no problemo.

Scott the lawyer is an absolute joke. Copyright infringement is theft, because a copyright dictates who has a RIGHT to make a COPY, which none of you do BTW. Therefore you all are a bunch of petty theives… some of you too poor, some of you too cheap, some of you with delusions of granduer of “sticking it too the man”, and some of you just didn’t get taught no bettah by yo mommas.

I can see all of you going into art galleries with digital cameras and snapping photos of the paintings to print out and decorate your houses… just sad.

A lot of things are way more than minimum wage. That doesn’t mean fast food workers are entitled to steal whatever they can’t afford.

Well, if you’re living in a country where the cost of Original movies are way more than the MINIMUM WAGE, then Bittorent is a viable alternative.

Far from criticizing P2P: I am a download junkie.

Anyway, technically speaking, downloading is illegal acquisition of information. The stealing is present, it is not of the information itself, but of the rights of the owner, most of the times the price of a CD, DVD, book, or of a “legal” download.

There are other reasons to defend P2P, for example free access to knowledge. The steal-copy thesis is not such a good shot.

Ohhhhhh, HELL YEAH!!!

My wife and I have been taking the piss out of those “You wouldn’t steal” ads for so long that this is an absolute GEM of a clip.

Thanks, Bender.

Well, as far as I know, piracy meant being a pirate – and that was all.
