Very interesting comment. For me the line is profiting from the copied content/software. I am opposed to people selling pirated movies on the streets and not so to people downloading and watching them in their homes.
- rick888 16y agoSo, if I copied your startup (website, graphics, and name), and didn't make a profit on it (even if you were charging), it's okay?
- pyre 16y agoThe name would be covered under trademark law, and the website/graphics copying could be considered plagiarism if you are attempting to pass them off as your own. On the other hand, someone that copies a movie is neither: 1) Claiming to be the movie studio that produced and/or distributed the movie. 2) Claiming that they were the producer/creator of the movie. Comparing the two situations doesn't work because the only common factors are that copying happened and that they're both related to the nebulous term 'IP.'
