Or maybe it is? Different people have different views on what counts as rights and I've yet to hear of a case of God clarifying which group of people is right. Some people believe it is their God given right to keep others from modifying their own equipment in certain patterns by sharing information. Others disagree.
Consider libraries. If I built a file sharing system that allowed only one person to watch the movie at a time, but allowed as many people as wanted to watch it if they were willing to wait their turn, how is this any different than what a library does? Yet that would also be considered a form of piracy. Is running a library not a God given right.
- m_t 8y agoLibraries pay for the content they provide. That's the only thing you forgot to plan for in your hypothetical system.
- SkyBelow 8y agoI did plan for it, I just didn't call out that the original copy of the movie was purchased because I didn't think that would be the defining factor on if my plan was acceptable or not. So as long as I pay for the original copy and only allow one person to view it at a time, my plan is acceptable?
