Please explain to me how duplicating something is indeed, theft. As I was taught, theft deprives the original owner of access to it. IE: If I thiefed (hehehe) your car, you wouldn't have it anymore. If I copied it, you still have yours. How have I stolen yours then? > Go back to stealing and end up behind bars. Intellectual copyright infringement isn't theft. -- Regards, Dustin Cook - http://bughunter.it-mate.co.uk BugHunter v2.2e AntiMalware Removal Utility _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
