I'm tired of this comparison of getting free things on digital things that cost nothing to reproduce, to stealing actual hardware. The comparison just doesn't stand up. You could compare it to taking a fruit in a tree that isn't obviously isn't going to get picked, instead of letting it fall to the ground, too. But there's a grumpy old man who won't let anyone have them, falling rotten or not. And then he calls you a thief. In any regular town, it may not be strictly legal, but the policemen will gladly jump the fence and take the fruit too, if they can. And they certainly won't arrest the twelve-year-old kid who took one. Software doesn't grow on trees, you say? Yes it does. Look at all the free software you can get. The fruits, in fact, have now been successfully regulated, and are no longer free, and you now will actually get taken to jail for taking one from the market, hungry or not, children's prank or not. Laws are made to protect and increase the established wealth, and you are just one more of those become poor and more unhappy in the process, whether you realize it or not. -- NYCwireless - http://www.nycwireless.net/ Un/Subscribe: http://lists.nycwireless.net/mailman/listinfo/nycwireless/ Archives: http://lists.nycwireless.net/pipermail/nycwireless/
