| Here, try reading: http://greatergreaterwashington.org/post/19962/when-we-lost-... Roads didn't "belong" to vehicles--in fact, it was generally considered that the driver of the larger vehicle in an accident was at fault, which is common sense. As for cigarettes, consider the old ads: http://content.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1848212_17... As for piracy--look, taking my keys (even to make a copy) requires the temporary loss of access to them, whereas with files it does not. Arguments against copyright infringement cannot hang on stealing, because it is plainly not stealing: instead, you have to construct them as being about the infringement on somebody's right to control access to their works (which is a bit more subtle, and far from settled). You need to read more and talk less, and maybe you'll learn something. I don't blame you for being brainwashed by the societal norms these days, but if you want to be taken seriously you need to google your way to success. |
I suppose that says it all! What a brilliant demonstration of exactly why you should be ignored.
Keep up the good work, you are a fine example of modern reasoning.
