Look down

You've you know.  Ignored the fact that I don't pirate.

Not even music... which is probably more then can be said for every other person in this thread.

The truth is, you just don't want to argue anymore because in general you know your argument has no basis in economics.

1) I know you are not a pirate.  You said so.  It was an announcement I was tired typing those long posts.  I don't pirate music or software, for the record.

2) I stated from the beggining that I was not arguing economics, but you wanted to.  I continues to say I was not arguing economics, yet you continue.  We are having to seperate arguments, and you should take yours to an economist.  It's pointless anyway, as just because something is economically sound doesn't make it right or legal.

Well,

A) Nothing makes something ethical.  All things are inherently ethical until they are made unethical.

B) If their is no economic losses their is nothing that makes piracy unethical.  If you can get something for free, and it hurts no one, property is not even lost... that is in no way unethical.

To say otherwise you are holding tenious IP rights that aren't even relevent in most countries above the well being of others.  Which in itself is actually quite unethical.
