Responsibility can be argued 24/7 with as many opinions as their are people talking about it. Your example with the gun depends on the circumstances. If you left the gun lying on a windowsill, loaded, without a trigger lock then I would say that yes, you ARE responsible for someone else using it. Is it your FAULT that someone else gets killed? No, but you can be held accountable (ala OJ Simpson). However, if you have it stored out of sight, say on a high closet shelf or in a safe, with ammunition in a different location with a proper trigger lock and someone still managed to steal it and murder someone with it then I would not hold you responsible for it because you took appropriate precautions to prevent unauthorized use. Applied to movie swapping, I hold Todd responsible for continued distribution because he is purposefully making the media available, telling others where it is, and otherwise encouraging others to download and view it. What would you think of someone who did the same with their firearm? Would you want your kids playing at their house? -Justin Scott ______________________________________________________________________ Signup for the Fusion Authority news alert and keep up with the latest news in ColdFusion and related topics. http://www.fusionauthority.com/signup.cfm Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
