If however you say "making a copy of this DVD for your own use (eg in case of damage) is OK but it is wrong to give it away or sell it. Please don't do that." Then you are actually treating the consumer as a reasonable person.
No, you're attacking their civic spirit and the nature of friendship, and that's not cool. No one self-respecting is going to agree to betray their friends and neighbours like that.
For *THE VAST MAJORITY OF LAW ABIDING PEOPLE*, which is more likely to work?
Neither. Talk to teenagers - file sharing is here to stay. By saying "law abiding," you're invoking the law as an authority on ethics, which is ill-conceived. The law is, at best, at attempt to achieve justice. Often, if doesn't: law abiding people moved to the back of the bus. -- Regards, Dave - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
