Yes it is. And once again, you're it. I realize the black and white
world is probably very comforting and relaxing, but in the real world,
everything requires thought and judgement.
I'm sorry, I dont see anything in this thread that justifies leeching of
pirated works. Thought and judgement indeed.
I'm still arguing about the issue of justice. Pirating from a "filthy rich
company that pollutes water and kills cute kittens" should be seen as an
act of justice. What comes around goes around and all that. Stealing from
some guy who goes bankrupt would be injust. Both would be illegal.
I've discussed this to death - so I'm signing off. Twas an enjoyable argument.
