- floydnoel 2y agothey don’t really worry about murderers nor vandals
- jebarker 2y agoI honestly don't see why the cops should arrest someone that burgles an office building (say of a film producer) and not someone that gives away the content they paid to make for free. In what way is it different?
- timewizard 2y agoIf I take your property you cannot have it or use it. If I copy your content you still have it. It's not an exigent issue that requires officers with guns to solve.
- jebarker 2y agoAh, yes, that's a good argument for property definition. I agree that it seems excessive to use armed force to enforce this, I was more questioning how to differentiate the two situations in law so cops don't have to exercise that judgement.
