how is it stealing? stealing is taking something from someone and once
you
take it that person no longer has or owns it. example. i take your
wallet
with money in it, therefore you no longer have the wallet or the money I
have it, I stole it from you.
now I buy a game. I get the unlock info and setup for the game. so now I
have that info and also the developer of the game also has that same
info.
now I give my unlock code to you. so now you have my unlock code too.
should you have it? no. but you do. but wait, the developer of the game
still has his game, the source code, and the unlock code that he gave to
me. I did not steal anything from him. the only thing i did was the
developer lost money because i shared a game. this falls under the
category of dishonesty not really stealing. how will we prosecute
criminals when the day comes when lets say you have a nice car and I
want
that car. well stealing is a thing of the past I pull out my duplicator
gun, point it at the car hit a button and voila! I have an exact working
copy of your vehicle built atom by atom. and I even have your keys! oh
but
wait you still have your own car and your own keys. I should have paid
for
the car most that happened was the car dealer lost out on getting my
money
for something i should have baught rather than coppied. same thing
happens
if i borrow a book from a friend, read it, and i like it. technically i
should have gone out and baught the book for myself so the author lost
money because my friend shared his book with me. stealing is taking
something so the original owner no longer has that thing. its stolen.
this
is not stealing its well copying. I think culturally we have to change
our
terms. pirates, they steal. that is pirates who loot ships and stuff
they
steal. but could we really call them pirates if they board your ship and
duplicate the stuff they want put the copies on their ship and go off?
no
you still have the originals. and if that day comes even money will no
longer have value. in fact if you can just copy everything then nothing
has value because everything can be coppied. so we would then have to
completely rethink our whole entire world economic system. and this
could
go on forever so I'll stop here.

I'm willing to bet that some cool hacker will make an add-on for NVDA
to
interface with that Jaws-fetish software that I can't spell. Then
buying
the thing wouldn't exactly be all that wasteful, although I'd rather
pirate it to try it out for 30 minutes or so just to see how
mind-numbingly restrictive and basic it is, than buy it, then throw it
away.

Hi Dark,
Agreed. I wouldn't blame anyone for pirating the game in secret, and
no I can't feel sorry or any sympathy for Brian Hartgen if that
happens because its his own fault. Someone who clearly refuses to
sell
single end user licenses to include it in a more expensive product,
something many people don't need, is just begging for disreputable
people to rip it off as fast as possible. Although, I don't
personally
know of any such instances I wouldn't be surprised if this has not
already happened. People won't buy Leasey just to acquire a game that
use to sell for a fraction of the price. If they can they'll pirate
it
instead, and that is a fact.

Well Tom It's a great shame Philip couldn't sell his game to a more
deserving party, not that I blaime him for this Brian fellow's
stupidity, a
very blind man indeed if he can't realize what he's got :D.
If this is truly the case I would not be sorry for someone to pirate
the
game as has already happened with the Bsc titles just to keep it in
the
community, ---- oh and no, I don't know about any pirated copies of
the bsc
games hanging aaround, such a thing is just a supposition by me.
Beware the grue!
Dark.
