Your are WRONG about Art, when you sell an Original, all copyrights go with it unless specially laid out is common practice although technically wrong, most artists know when they sell an original to a gallery, it is going to be used for a print run. I know people who bought orginals oils, had a run of prints made and sold them, without the artist getting one extra dime. I am in the art business ,so I always make a contract that specifies copyrights go with the art, if I plan to make a run, but to do this an Artist is going to want alot more than normal. I have done many runs myself but usually pay the Artist a small amout to Sign/Number the prints in addition to the price for the original.

Those justifications are pathetic.
Justifications in general are pathetic. Wise man would realize justification isn't necessary in the first place.

Sometimes there are very reasonable reasons to torrent something you don't own, say I just torrented Oblivion, now of course I am going to need to torrent the Strategy Guide as well, I would buy it, but it is printed on this cheap flimsy "newspaper" and I like my guides on good bond paper, so I buy a pack of paper at Staples and fire up the Laser printer, I usually buy a binder to hold all the pages in, and of course the cost of toner, hell this whole thing costs me like 10 bucks, and lets not forget about my time, come to think of it they should be paying me! Then of course I gotta see if is really that much better than Morrowind so I gotta torrent that to make sure their improving thier products sufficently,and besides that game is like 10 bucks and with gas going up,the threat of terrorism and the current state of the middle east, I don't have enough "Consumer Confidence" to make such a financial commitment like that.

Theft is always "reasonable" to the thief.
Grow up and get off your "I'll just steal whatever I want attitude. After all nothing belongs to anyone, but it all belongs to me as long as I want it."
By the way, if you continue with that rationalizing attitude you best locate a good lawyer.

I find it hilarious that the conservatives usually side with anti-piracy
I'm pro-piracy. The eye-patches are cool and it (
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flying_spaghetti_monster#Pirates) reduces global warming. But seriously it isn't theft if no one loses anything (and revenue not earned through selling something doesn't count because it has to be owned by someone before it can be stolen).

You are insufficiently cynical. People often willingly give up privacy for immediate kickbacks. A large TV for free? They'd be falling over themsevles to let you spy on them.
I'd do that, but I place about no value in privacy and I'm extremely cheap.

Is this a joke, or are you really that much of a retard? I honestly can't tell.

Well it helps if you ask the question, What would Jesus Do? I am pretty certian that if Jesus had a Massive Broadband pipe like I do, along with his well known dislike of corprate culture(you know the moneychanger thing) and his belief in sharing(the fishes and bread) he would be alright with a little personal sharing.
P.S. This of course is alot easier to answer than, What would Jesus do if he had an ICBM, Necular Attack Sub, Aircraft Carrier ect...:angel:

An interesting point - I only want to use something, not to own it. Wasn't the original point of patents and copyright to protect someone's creation from others? If a new device was invented, everyone could make copies until it was patented. At some point, someone other that the original inventor could mass produce the device without giveing credit or anything to the original creator. Patent and copyright laws were I believe originally created to stop this. How did they end up affecting one person's personal use of an object or idea?
Although this would restrict my potential grey-area activities, I conclude that the fairest way for thos in power to proceed would be to create an entirely new area of law to deal with information of different types, discarding the antiquated Public Domain and copyright systems designed for entirely different circumstances.

(early response to my God and the Right post)
The POINT of my post came in the connection with the later sentences. The right (stereo/typically), while being very God oriented, are still pro aggressive-defense-of-property? It's like they ignore the entire New Testament (aside from evangelism) and whatever bits of the Old Testament they don't like.
