Hi Tim,
This is sort of a test too, because my last mail bounced, saying that my domain was black-listed...
Please read my other mail, Tim. And to address specifically what you are saying... The system and software that is on this computer, is now mine. We are just talking about what came with this computer. I got all original CD`s, papers etc. that came with it too. The only additional thing that came with the computer, was the music he had collected. He asked me if I wanted it, and I said yes. Of course I could have chosen to say no and started downloading it all over again. But that really does not make much sense to do. You probably did not notice that I do not live in the US, since you are telling me what is right according to US law... But I don`t live in the US, I live in Norway - and I follow Norwegian law, which is very different than yours on this. If I deleted iTunes and started downloading it all over again, I would still be following Norwegian law. I only own one copy of this music, and I am not breaking any law. So I consider this music as mine, and I have my full rights to do so.
The case would have been different if I lived in the United States of America, but I only have to relate to US law when I am in the US, just as you have to relate to Norwegian law if you visit our country... It might as well have been the other way around, meaning that if something is forbidden by law here, I can`t just assume that the same goes for you guys that live in the US... E.g. I think it is really horrendous that people dock tails and ears on dogs, and if somebody does it here, they would be in real trouble, it has been forbidden by law since 1981. Everybody here agree that it is a violation of animal rights to do so, it is considered as abuse and inflicting needless pain and suffering onto an innocent animal. I have been on a lot of International dog mailing lists over the years, and this issue comes up all the time. You bet I really feel like speaking up, telling how this issue is seen here in Norway and how I feel about it. But I just can`t push that belief on the US participants, or US friends when I visit the US, for that matter. I just have to respect that you follow your customs and legislation, and in the US this is still allowed. It is just one of these things you have to draw a line on, I think. I don`t like everything that is considered "right" in other countries, and people in other countries of course don`t like everything that we consider "right".
But, if you really don`t know, a simple question most often clears it up real quickly...
Just my NOK 0.50 worth... :)
Aase :)
Hey Ben, that's somebody else's music! What you are suggesting is tantamount to theft. Aase, put your OWN music in iTunes, the stuff that is there now is NOT YOURS! For that matter, any software the previous owner left on it is NOT yours unless he gave you the install CD's and licenses. GUYS!
