Ignoring the personal attacks ya bring up something that you might want to take a look at.
often is "right" if you only look at what is presented. If you look a little further (or read some of the background information that it is based on) he often enough twisting the data to make himself look right.
Driving your car twice the speed limit is easy too. We have laws against it. There is little or no attempt to slow down cars by putting limiters on them (say making impossible for a car to go more than 70MPH ever), we just apply the law. It's the same with copying someone else's work without permission: Just because you can do it doesn't make it right.
Kettle black there bud.
Oh and by the way people will never stop rewarding, let alone using it as an appeal to authority(the law) as an argument to point out it is or is not wrong. How many times you going to have the urine hit you in the face before you listen to the person telling you to put up the toilet seat... oh wait, its face away from the wind.
Fearing people will stop doing anything is also a real good point. /sard
Nun: Let me get this straight: you don't believe in God because of "Alice in Wonderland"?
Loki: No, "Through the Looking Glass". That poem, "The Walrus and the Carpenter," that's an indictment of organized religion. The walrus, with his girth and his good nature, he obviously represents either Buddha, or, or with his tusks, the Hindu elephant god, Lord Ganesha. That takes care of your Eastern religions. Now the carpenter, which is an obvious reference to Jesus Christ, who was raised a carpenter's son, he represents the Western religions. Now in the poem, what do they do? What do they do? They, they dupe all these oysters into following them and then proceed to shuck and devour the helpless creatures en masse. I don't know what that says to you, but to me it says that following these faiths based on mythological figures ensures the destruction of one's inner being. Organized religion destroys who we are by inhibiting our actions, by inhibiting our decisions out of, out of fear of some, some intangible parent figure who, who shakes a finger at us from thousands of years ago and says, and says, "Do it... do it and I'll fuckin' spank you."

Bartleby: Oh, geez...
Nun: The way you put it... I never really thought about it like that before. What have I been doing with my life? What am I...
Loki: Yeah, I know. Listen, my advice to you: you take this money that you've been collecting for your parish, go get yourself a nice dress, you know? Fix yourself up. Find some man, find some woman, that you can connect with, even for a moment, 'cause that's really all that life is, Sister. It's a series of moments. Why don't you seize yours?
[the nun hesitates, then smiles, nods, and leaves]
Loki: That-a girl. Ah.
[he turns around and sits next to Bartleby with a grin on his face]
Bartleby: You know, here's what I don't get about you. You know for a fact that there is a God. You've been in His presence. He's spoken to you personally. Yet I just heard you claim to be an atheist.
Loki: I just like to fuck with the clergy, man. I just love it, I love to keep those guys on their toes.
This is my favorite interpretation but explains why I don't believe in copyright either.
I focus. assumption that piracy is inherently harmful, rather than just another market force.
Its wording is all. Replace pirate with someone who shares files to friends and complete strangers is by definition people who are a market force... imagine that.
And child abuse for teaching my children right vs wrong??? Seriously???
You can do that without child worship editing as well. OH what value(s) does that fall under?
Thanks I'll spare my children the frustration of not seeing a complete work, I rather them be content with the full experience. I understand a derivative work when it adds something but don't tell me taking away based on child worship is somehow productive for any work let alone culture. Its like asking my child not to watch Alice in wonderland, Aristocats or Oz because there great videos for LCD.
Well you miss the /sarc in the definition of libertarian if we need the government to do anything in the field of choice. The point was it was two private entities that resolved the child worship here.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: Masnick's view of piracy
Well yes, if you see any point in enforcement, that is your position.
I may take a stab at the question your attempting to ask.
Why is it your position?
... because from here those point make you A or B. Because there is no C of actual meaningful debate for reform or proving either AorB correct.
