Oh and stop using stupid analogies about bakers, cars, paintings, whatever.
Don't use physical objects for a problem about digital entities and intellectual property...you can't explain digital piracy with physical objects.

Why not? What makes digital different then Analog other then the fact that it's easier to copy.
The truth is. While piracy is still wrong since that's the way people who make games make their living....
This isn't how people who make games should be making there living.

The only analogy that comes even remotely close is counterfeiting. And "nonprofit counterfeiting" is a pretty damn good analogy, actually ... if only someone would use it.
|
I think the differnce between counterfitting and nonprofit counterfitting is that money are basically government documents.
|
Money isn't the only thing people counterfeit, you know. Rolexes, designer clothes, etc. etc. And the difference is "illegal" versus "illegal enterprise".
|
True, to me... counterfit rolexes, and designer clothes made and given away... shouldn't be illegal... and to my knowledge isn't.
It's only illegal when the person charges money for it.
Either way, nobdoy i know has be arrested for owning knocked off goods.
However illegal money printing is always illegal since money isn't a product so much as a government document standing for something.
