None of them have done it. Odd. None of them have stolen my belongings or killed any pets, or sullied my laundry etc... laws because they're sociopaths, they generally break laws due to ignorance. |
that's because your friends have no idea of the damage they are doing. Your friends are the very twats who've helped to unravel this industry at one level - to be sure piracy isn't the only issue we face.
Music piracy - It is stealing - i grow very tired of pointing out that in law theft is NOT described as "depriving someone of goods" - it's stated very clearly in many texts as removing someones property, intellectual or otherwise, without specific permission or compensation.
Like ripping of science, or inventions or stealing a copy of a movie script.
