Here is a story from Colorado: <http://www.thedenverchannel.com/news/22745694/detail.html>
A person who borrowed a DVD from a public library and never returned it was arrested on a theft warrant which had been issued by the city. There was obviously no theft when the DVD was first borrowed, so we that something can become a crime over time even without specific action. Similarly, copying and distributing GPL-covered works without honoring the conditions of the license is copyright infringement, regardless of the circumstances under which the copier first obtained the work. (Of course the arrest caused a contretemps and the charges were subsequently dropped, but that's not relevant.) _______________________________________________ gnu-misc-discuss mailing list gnu-misc-discuss@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/gnu-misc-discuss
