And lets assume for the moment that the car was an incredibly rare car whose rarity made it valuable. A copy that was identical in every respect could harm the owner by reducing the rarity of the car. -- Bill |

In addition, there tends to be legal definitions which often overlap with some of the common definitions of words. However, they don't limit the common use of the language. So, I move that we abandon these pointless discussions by arm chair lawyers about whether file sharing is theft or piracy. Depending on your prespective its neither or both... or both neither and both at the same time. The real questions are whether it should be legal and or whether it is ethical. -- Bill |

That's the reality of piracy, yes, but I don't think it's the image of it in popular culture, which is more shaped by 1930s Hollywood "swashbuckling" films with Errol Flynn!
