<p>[QUOTE="Drusus, post: 668090, member: 6370"]Well, first, if you call it stealing then you are making a judgment. You are calling someone a thief. I think its a grey area myself. In my mothers case. she had a book on DVD which she owned, I needed some info off of it so she burned me a copy so I wouldn't have to buy it. She was doing me a favor so I would hesitate to call her a thief. If a person who has bought and owns something like a music disc, movie, or book decides to make a copy for a friend....I don't see that as paramount to walking into a store and stealing a DVD. I have often copied such things from friends and allow friends and family to copy music or movies I have ...I also record things off TV....and again...I don't necessarily think its the same as stealing.</p><p> </p><p>I don't think I know anyone who hasn't duplicated something to give to someone else...So I guess I don't see making copies for people (not selling the copies) of something you own as stealing...maybe more like minor copyright infringement...I assume they call it that, and not 'stealing' because even the authorities see it as something different than stealing. But I have never been accused of having iron clad black and white morals...but if you have gone through life never having had someone copy something for you...good show!! You can judge me as a thief and a cad with a clear conscience and since it the internet, whether you have or you havent...who really knows but you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
