Re: Oh Dear They Might Get The Encryption Right said by fiberguy:I don't steal.. don't condone it.. and would spit on those that do..... Don't like the laws? Change them.. but to break them makes on a criminal. Um, news flash.....
In case you haven't noticed, no one has ever been prosecuted for doing as he mentioned. That would be because it's not stealing, and it's not criminal. Amazing how that works! 
said by fiberguy:Um.. ever heard of English 4th grade? Change them.. but to break them makes on a criminal Speaking of 4th grade English?

kudos:3 | ooooh wow! Big man you are... my keyboard messed up and didn't put the "e" on "one" and you catch it? or maybe I was being obvious with the typo.. either way.. big man you are.
Doesn't matter either way.. the point is simple. I'd think that the FBI warnings are a pretty good indication that you don't do it. And YES, it IS theft.. its stealing.. and yes, it's against the law. Prosecuted? "AS HE MENTIONED"... great niche spin there. Have they? No.. why? It is just one and it's not worth it. HOWEVER, YES, people have been prosecuted for stealing intellectual property. People that have pressed several copies or made available the software to people have in fact been prosecuted. As for the large group of single people that do it? That's why they keep inventing things like WGA and why Comcast introduced Sandvine on to their network.
Go back to the drawing board to find another way to make the act smell like roses please. You can't justify breaking the law.

They claim it's for "Network management"
If the masses are "breaking the law", then there's something wrong with the law.
There, I crossed my T's and dotted my I's just for you, you little angel.

lol "My keyboard messed up, or I did that on purpose, either way......." I gotta remember that one! I love it. 
said by fiberguy:People that have pressed several copies or made available the software to people have in fact been prosecuted. Go back to the drawing board to find another way to make the act smell like roses please. You can't justify breaking the law. You've changed the subject on me. Okay, I'll follow along, I think the price of tea in China is hovering right around 120 Yang an ounce. I'm sure you'll correct me if I'm wrong.
If you've seen me around the forums at all, you'd know that I'm not interested in making anything smell like roses. Oh, and by the way, I have nothing to justify.
Edit 6NOV07: Spelling correction of "China".... my keyboard did it. |

kudos:3 | Ever heard of blue tooth keyboards i*iot? If you had, you'd understand.. but wait.. they are priced at $159 for a set so I doubt you'd pay that much for anything.
Still.. what kind of a guy, in a discussion, goes after a single typo? Oh wait.. you! Because you have nothing to say.
I have to remember that one too.. I love it. NOT!
Typical.

I was the one who made the typo, you didn't see it. I had China all jacked up. I was simply pointing out the irony of you going after someones English. Who has nothing to say?

My A.D.D. is starting to kick in This conversation has really digressed. If you'd like to return to the debate on the criminology of individuals downloading media. I'd be happy to go there with you. Otherwise I think you've damaged your credibility enough for one thread. I'll let you have the last word. I'm out.
Edit: Oh, PS. Don't forget to put me in your ignore list.
