I am surprised...or maybe not surprised, by the number of “Christians” from my own church who think nothing of stealing music, videos etc... through whatever means are available.
Didn’t take you long to trash the christian faith, even on a thread totally unrelated, did it?
How’s that different from TIVO? One can record media for which on has paid one time, as with a cable subscription, and then watch it repeatedly forever. If I rent a movie, for which I pay, why can I not do the same as TIVO?
That’s why I opened with “Ut, oh.”
I am not in favor of breaking the law, but breaking this one is stealing income from the pockets of not just the wealthy Hollyweirdos, but some folks with far lesser income levels.
And stealing is stealing. However, current copyright law does go way too far. That doesn’t excuse breaking it, but . . . .
Interesting tagline ... harsh but correct.
To most people this isn't about stealing (a misnomer, you're really thinking of copyright infringement). It's about regaining Fair Use that has been taken from us through technology. I should be able to rip a Blu-ray into a file (otherwise legal format shifting) that I can take with me (legal place shifting) to play on any device I own.
