Irrelevant. It is extremely hard for me to believe that otherwise intelligent, principled Freepers continue to defend thieves who are stealing other people's goods and services. True conservatives don't steal.
As a consumer, you have two choices: Either buy another man's product or don't buy it. To claim that you somehow have the right to take another person's product without their permission because their business model is not the best or because you don't like lawyers is sophistry and hair-splitting. Otherwise, breaking and entering would be absolutely legal IF you had the newest model Ripper 2000 crowbar. And that is anarchy.
I'LL SAY IT LOUD THIS TIME...
Nobody is defending theives. I've said over and over in my posts that I'm not doing so. IMO nobody else is.
The problem is that technology outpaces the law's ability to stop swapping. Hence the repeated calls for a new model.
Why must you insist on asserting that I am defending thieves? You've done it four times now, and I've corrected you each time. Get over it.
