That's given me a brilliant idea - property rights - houses - what you think of as theft and piracy is actually more like squatting!
  • It's a civil, not a criminal offence
  • The owner has a remedy - but that involves the civil courts not the criminal courts
  • Squatters are not entitled to damage anything in order to gain entry to their squat
  • If a squatter has not been evicted after 12 years (I think) they can claim ownership of the squatted property - (I'm thinking orphaned books here)

Never thought I'd find myself agreeing with kennyc AND James Murdoch, but we seem to be speaking with one voice

Now Kenny, can I count on you to join me in changing the way we think and talk about this practice to more appropriate language?
