================================================ Subject: We're not stealing we're "SHARING" From: "Keith Mears" To: Date: Thu 7 Mar 2002 13:52:58 -0500 ================================================ I'm reminded of two things here: an episode of The People's Court last week, in which Judge Milian was left flabbergasted by a young man and woman who ADMITTED, on national TV, that they were plotting to commit insurance fraud, and then said it was okay because she didn't actually have the coverage she wanted to defraud the company on; and an article I read in Newsweek last night at the hospital ER, which was specifically about Morpheus and Replay TV, and the shady manner in which Morpheus has avoided being tagged as thieves like Napster was. -----Original Message----- From: Creed Discussion List [mailto:CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM] On Behalf Of Debbi Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 1:25 PM To: CREED-DISCUSS@WINDUPLIST.COM Subject: Re: burning cds for a friend: stealing or saving money? wow, your grasp of basic intellectual property law and digital rights management under whelms me.   guess what?  you're wrong.  programs like Morepheus, when they're used to "share" copyrighted material are ILLEGAL - do you remember a little thing called Napster?  it made page 39484848 in a few local papers a while back.   Guess what?  borrowing a copyrighted cd is fine because the license was purchased for a SINGLE copy of it when the cd was purchased.  if you COPY it and then loan it to a friend, ILLEGAL.   Is this concept seriously this difficult to grasp, or are you idiots just trying to make yourselves feel better for stealing?  I mean, if you can sleep better at night knowing you did everything you could to convince yourself that your behavior somehow isn't wrong, then go for it.
