I'm not a lawyer. but...

In Response To: Re: DeAdLy_cOoKiE steals software (Chappy) : Regarding your first point: I believe that just because you *can* do a thing : does not mean you *should* do a thing; nor does it excuse doing that : thing. Just because you *can* walk into a software store and walk out with : a copy of GameX in your backpack without paying for it doesn't make it : right to do so! I consider that *theft*, and you can be caught by camera's or people that are watching you. The idea scares me. I would not do such a thing, I have principles. : Most people would define theft (criminal behavior) as taking something : without permission or compensation. This is behavior that you admit to! I : can't understand how you justify this behavior. Just because you can do : it, doesn't make it right. I'm not saying that it's right. I'm just saying that I can. And I'm not blind of the fact that half of earth's population (which you are accusing of being criminals) downloads software (or music) straight from the internet, simply because they can. : If you bother to read this, I'm sure you'll call me names and say I'm hold : you up to a standard you can't meet. Why not? I hold myself up to that : same standard, and I purchase the games I want to play. I purchase the : music I want to listen to. I purchase what I need, and I spend within my : limits. I like a LOT of things in life, a lot of games a lot of music, a lot of everything, you could say that I live life to the max (whatever), are you telling me that I should feel guilty and buy 'everything' I like? Sure a buy a CD now and then, or a game, or whatever, just not 'eveything'. I'm happy that you are a millionare with morals, for some people their morals (or visions) lie different, some people are just not as ritch as you are... And actually, I find audio CD's (and perhaps games) way too expensive, Perhaps if it wouldn't be that expensive, there weren't that many people using napster or downloading games from internet! Should I buy a new version of windows every year? Nah, it's ridiculously expensive, microsoft does NOT have morals, they steal ideas from other software companies, they are in a monopoly position and taking advantage of it, it's just a game for them. You could see them as criminals as well I suppose. You can consider me (and thousands of others) a criminal, I consider myself clever and level-headed, I much rather save some cash and spent it on hardware. Perhaps you could see those who created those warez-sites as criminals, but that is debatable as well. This is life man, wake up! There will always a drug-dealer in your neighbourhoor. There's nothing much you, or anyone else could do about it. You're almost sounding like my grandmother here...
