Or even better, a Vauxhall Astra. They go on forever...

And no, I don't work for Vauxhall.

What exactly are you studying ? Teletubbie repeats ?
And you say you work as well ? Amazing.
Look, you really must get somebody to proof your ***before you post it.
"So what's the difference between buying a game second hand, or copying it? None."
Can you see where you messed up in the statement above ?
That's  right......it's complete bollocks.

Ah, so it's OK to steal something if you can't afford it? I see.

And it's OK to steal from the rich? Gotcha.

Interesting philosophies you have there. Tell ya what -- you start your
own business with your own ***, sweat, and tears, investing your own
personal money and then come back and tell me it's OK for people to
steal from you. I can GUARANTEE you will change your perspective. You
just need to grow up a little and gain a little real world experience.

If enough people downloaded songs instead of buying albums, we would only
have three recording artist left. Bruce Springs*** would not be among them.
Not that I would miss him, but I'm not willing to live with that.

Wouldn't that be nice? BTW, it's easy to stop world hunger:
It's about food control, not population control (the current
population explosion is a direct result of the massive
surplusses totalitarian agriculture produces).

Ours is not the only way to live, and it's also not the way
humans were meant to live from the beginnings of time,
regardless of what mother culture has whispered in your ears
from the day you were born.

Here's an interesting read for you:

Here we go again, what happened to the rodent problem Uwe ? :-)

I've also read DGF's post, the two of you really should join the
discussion in general.discussion over on the mho*** news server, the
current hot topics are "Life on Earth, a creation or did it evolve, does
God exist ?" and "Are there life on other planets, does God exist ?"

Not bad for a sim racing NG eh ? :-), all started with a possible UFO
sighting the other day

The debate has grown very boring the last 12 hours and some new ***
might inject some life into it......if you can handle the culture crash
and binaries that is :-)

Beers and cheers

Funny - I read this and thought to myself, "That sounds like something Hoover
would say".  Then I looked at the "From:" field...<g>

Or....

They can make it a $20 download and keep all the money themselves :)  Well,
most of it anyway....

It would be best if we downloaded from the artist direct and
send them / him / her, say $2 per download. Money flows
directly into the artist's pocket where it belongs.

You could argue that in some cases, YES, it's OK to steal from the rich.

If somebody robbed Bill Gates and gave 90 per cent of his $ to the poor,
(Hey, *I'd* cheer on such a modern Robin Hood) I can't say I'd feel
particularly sorry for Bill, who'd still have billions galore.

The inequal distribution of wealth in this world sometimes is a greater
crime than mere theft.

Regards, Ruud

PS. Note I said "some" and "sometimes" though... I wouldn't condone
(software) theft per se.

Uhmmmm, the distribution of wealth in this world is almost 100% reflective
of the amount of freedom within a particular county.  Freedom and in
particular, freedom to the supply of capital is the biggest ingredient to
creating wealth.

Gates is NOT guaranteed to always be worth billions.  Spin it any way you
want, stealing, taxing blah blah, the "rich" because they won't miss it just
BS.
