| Bottom line: Is there a lawyer in the house? It would make for a very | interesting discussion. | Have the planners for monthly CLUG meetings ever considered inviting a | lawyer to talk on these very issues? HINT. HINT. It would be fascinating. Having grown up around lawyers, I think you and I have very different ideas about interesting. I also suspect that what you are looking for does not exist. There is no magic formula, there is not even a single Intellectual Property field of law (copyright is different from patent...) let a lone a proper and complete answer to what is legal or illegal. | Touché, Shawn, for your insight. | Gary | P.S. The writer made me think about Abbie Hoffman's book, Steal This | Book | (1971) (http://www.amazon.com/Steal-This-Book-Abbie-Hoffman/dp/156858217X), | still available from amazon.com, I see. What would have happened, I | wonder, if I had really walked into a Chapters or a Coles (when it | existed) and tried to steal the book? Guess? ;-) Walking in to a store and physically stealing is well defined by our laws. What this article discusses is not. The laws will change, but they are always behind the times. I also do not equate legal issues with moral ones. Something can be both legal and immoral and the same time. Complicating this further, our morals as a society change over time as well. | ----- Original Message ----- | From: "Shawn" <[EMAIL PROTECTED] <mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]>> | To: "CLUG General" <[email protected] <mailto:[email protected]>> | Sent: Saturday, January 12, 2008 11:20 PM | Subject: Re: [clug-talk] Open WiFi (shift from clug-tech discussion) | | (Gary, I shifted this back into CLUG-Talk - where it was meant to be.. :) | | Theft is bad.
