[Wingy]

As my original post never stated that the SOFTWARE should be illegal, I wonder why you would think that I believe guns should be illegal? If you commit a crime with a gun or Bic lighter or bolt cutters, you have commited a crime. I would have no problem with you being judged in a court of law. But to own a gun, Bic lighter, or software for fair use, I said that would be "no harm, no foul".

Now I know that the article was about this software firm and it's troubles, but I thought I was clear that the crime would be in the USE of whatever object you buy, not the actions of this software firm.

wingy,
i'm with you on this, really.
simply pointing out the illogic of the copyright holders' arguments about making software illegal because it could be used to commit a crime.
i used the gun argument to point out the lack of logic in the copyright holders' (MPAA/RIAA) argument.
