[QUOTE="beaner_bimmer"]
so what of art? that logic fails. the term intellectual property is an oxymoron to itself. u cant physically own something intangible. (a lovely idea tho for those that have so much and want to take what little we have) so they own the images in my head now too? i respect who and what deserves it. money is irrelevant. JLF1
No they don't own the pictures in your head but they do own their own pictures.
If you don't want to accept that people can own intellectual Properties then I would recommend leaving this planet as you won't find many people agreeing with you here.
Agreed... so...
OK... sorry. To beaner -
Perhaps I worded my post incorrectly, let me put it another way; People who steal, whether it's penny candy from a drug store or Mercedes off the streets, and everything tangible and not under society's laws, should someday feel what it's like to have something they created stolen by a two-bit hood with no moral compass who somehow figures they're entitled. Speaking from personal experience, it sucks.
The logic doesn't fail, your attempt to spin it does. Defending your position by trying to key it on a respect issue makes no sense at all. Programmers, artists, designers, writers, directors, cinematographers, actors, singers, songwriters, et. al don't have to have your respect for the law to be the law and for you, no matter where you live on this rock, to at least respect THAT. I hate certain performers but it doesn't mean I then have the right to steal from them. If you don't respect the law, then you ought to be judged and punished accordingly. You're not being edgy and cool by ripping someone off...
... you're just being a punk.
Not you directly, because I don't know you and perhaps you pay for everything you consume so I don't want to offend you personally... but without laws we would all be in a **** world. Make no mistake.
Take it easy, and see you around.
