Bar the typo (which should have been say), I meant what I said to Vijay.
If someone/two people have closed views, there's no point in arguing
continously about it. It just bores everyone and doesn't change
anything.

Andrew,
Please don't take it the wrong way, but you seem to have a
strange idea of what a "discussion" is about.... Have you not been sent
to BBC re-education camp yet?
By saying "That's all I'm going to stay. There is no point in
even debating the subject" you make Auntie seem like Fox News!

No, that would be stealing, I would be depriving
the original owners of a can of drink, What I would do isn't stealing,
no one loses anything, or are you one of those people who wilfully
spreads the misconception that copyright infringement = theft?
If you are, well it doesn't. One deprives
someone of a tangeable object, that actually costs something to
distribute, the other is data that can, and is, being distributed
virtually for free.
My point is nothing but simple. Just because it can be
done one way, doesn't mean it should. That's all.
The general population have an interesting respect laws
and rules - demand complete and total implementation of the ones they
really like, whilst ignoring the ones they don't. You only have to look
at how many people break the speed limit to see that.
That's all I'm going to stay. There is no point in even
debating the subject - you have your view and you're clearly right. And
that's that.
