It doesn't mean anything about the truth that these people try to explain to you, with everything and anything they have. If they represent the truth I feel very worried for our future :( Taking a random recent (verbatim) example I recieved: fuk u and ur fucking fancy words why do u hav the right to tell me what I cant do fuk u edit: for context it was after I posted this -> http://www.errant.me.uk/blog/2010/06/that-piracy-thing-again/ http://www.errant.me.uk/blog/2010/06/that-piracy-thing-again... I suspect (from your last post) that we are talking about two vastly different sort of people :) certainly I don't see you sending that sort of message (I could be wrong, if you do - please stop it's boring) These people don't really have good news; they, for the most part, don't have a new business model to offer. Mostly they just have insults and a "god given" right to whatever they want (almost on a level with "music co.s" god given right to demand money). I find both sides puerile, inconsistent and useless. On the other hand for the rest of us there are new revenue models that are slowly gaining popularity. When we can distract the media corps from replying to obnoxious emails and pursuing frivolous lawsuits it will probably all start to fall into place But there is no god given right for anyone to expect something of mine, yours or anyone else's for free. No matter how much or how eloquently it is argued :)

I don't see the point of attacking somebody that I have copied from.(Well, dropping the F bombs instead of having an actual debate) There is no need to economically support someone indirectly or directly that doesn't share what I believed. Therefore, I would look somewhere else. I believe that I have every right to sell something, but I do not believe that I have right to control every single copies in the world. I have sold to them a copy of my software. Even if I put a contract that said you must "eat cereals everyday or you will forfeit the copy", it is still their. Good luck for me, trying to enforce what is essentially unenforceable. Do I believe that people don't have the right to expect to profit? Sure. Do I believe that people don't have the right to expect anything for free? Sure. The difference between you and me is that we understand these things in different terms. For me, laws do not matter to me, ethics does. Even if the laws were repealed for murder, I would still believe that murders is wrong and that people should be punished for it.
