In my opinion Bergioyn Send a noteboard - 19/01/2011 09:22:29 PM
While questionable, it isn't as bad as stealing, since no real object/money is taken. In my opinion loss of "potential revenue" is quite shaky justification for treating illegal dowloading as thievery. It's like arresting someone because they potentially could cause harm (economic or other) to someone else.

Many shows (especially sports) forbid the duplication of said show in a statement or the credits. everynametaken - 20/01/2011 03:22:10 AM 1293 Views
