You cannot rob or steal digital data. You can only copy / share it.

All I have to say if you love a show so much, pirating it is hurting the copyright holder because the copyright holder has to pay the actors and all the employees that made it available to you in the first place. If everyone pirated, your beloved show would no longer exist.

Clearly you don’t understand “accessory”. People have been imprisoned for being an accessory to crimes even if they didn’t directly commit the offense.

And copying can deprive a person even though they still have the original. For example your social security number – if I copy that I could cause all manner of mischief at your detriment even though you still have the original.

So if I inform someone where your social security number is, or your bank password, are you happy that I gave someone that information ? And if they copy said information (even though you still have the original) would you not be disadvantaged if they use that copied information for nefarious purposes ?

Regardless what you think, if i tell you that this bank has a lot of money inside and you go and rob the bank, its not my fault just because i give you an information. I didn’t order you to do it, nor help you, it was your choice. Also copy is not robbery, if you copy something, the original isn’t lost. As for money i don’t care. There is not money right (as human right).

Holy crap, I can’t believe people are arguing about this. If I link to your site, it’s no more than me pointing a direction to your site or page. How is that stealing? I make web pages and it’s actually a GOOD thing to have people link to your site and raises your site’s or page’s visibility with search engines. As a site or page owner, you want as many people linking to your site and pages as possible. I love it when people link to my pages. I don’t consider it stealing unless they were actually stealing photos of text off my page.

Because I believe in some cases linking can indeed be used to facilitate loss and in some cases robbery….for ex – credit card phishing links.

You were comparing linking to accessory to robbery, shitbag.

Hyperlinking and DISPLAYING THE CONTENT is crucial here. Hyperlinking itself is fine if it results in a hit on the original website (it is just the same as saying “hey, check this web page out [point]“). But DISPLAYING THE CONTENT is trickier. Though there should be no problem quoting small passages, as in ordinary quote/cite …

STFU Pelouze you copyright maximalist cocksucker. I can’t find the good bits of the discussion let alone my own question I posted a week ago. Fuck off back the asshole of hollywood you spawned out of. Not censoring your shit just simply giving you free advise at how to not to be an asshole. Spamming your oppinion = asshole = you.
Oh and one thing, Faggot. Change your god damn nick you prick. At least I wouldn’t have to pretend that some other asshole just abused your account to post the same shit for the millionth time.
