I have my opinions, my friend has his, you have yours. I already said "I understand and agree with your opinion" What more do you want? I clearly stated that I don't download music, so what's your problem? I don't remember attacting you but its very clear you are attacking me. Lets all just calm down for a sec here. 
Read my example edit above about stop sign running. I'm sure you've atleast once (probably thousands like most) not COMPLETELY stopped at a stop sign. Meaning, you are actually not moving at all, period.
Technically, you're breaking the law just the same as if I ran through it like a bat out of hell, but is it worth the governments time to pull everyone over who doesn't COMPLETELY stop? No. Again, this is not a perfect example so please don't do what I'm sure you'll do. Just take the point in case. That everyone does SOMETHING illegal and doesn't get caught. |
Hey Justin
I am not pissed off. It's all good.
I am upset that our society is coming to this and you are the future of our nation. If you can't see something as simple as "you have to pay for something that does not belong to you or there will be consequences" then we are well and truly screwed.
It is that easy.... you pay for something that you use if it does not already belong to you. No legal wrangling, no wiggle room, no 3 strike policies or "I didn't know" excuses. No degrees of guilt or innocence, no "I would have paid for it if I had the money" and no "there are other people doing worse" get out of jail free cards.
The hart of the matter is the law has so far sided pretty heavily with the RIAA and the law is THE LAW.
The really easy answer that I just for the life of me can't understand why no one sees is this. Pay for the music or go without. It is that simple.
