I’m quite familiar with Bill Whittle, and I’ve already read that essay on the prisoner’s dilemma.
That it has nothing to do with this case is obvious. This isn’t about cheating or punishing a cheater.
The person at the center of this story didn’t cheat. Didn’t steal. The person at the center of this story did nothing actually wrong. The law applied by the prosecutor didn’t even apply to the situation that happened. That the judge failed to note this is curious, but it doesn’t change anything.
That is true but there are poeple on this thread that support cheating in helping themselves to another’s internet access.
Just like those that defend the cheaters who download copyrighted material without paying for it.
I think the article is highly related to the issue of declining respect for private property.
What do you think, do those who provide “free” internet access make it harder or easier for cheaters?
Is cheating on the upswing or downswing?
