someone wanted a copy of something, that you had would you be willing to help them?

Also at what cost to yourself?

 

[Dayvo]

Yes, most likely.

Cost? Time only, probably.

But it depends what YOU have!

I was a good man, I'd talk with you more often than I do.

IF it's software then I would tell them to go and buy it themselves.

If it was music / film then I would think about it.

Why a 10p CD?

Not if it was something you can only get by paying for it. I don't hold with stealing other people's work.

 

[yello]

It all depends what that "something" was.

 

[snakehips]

I am , like several others , intrigued by this. What 'something' are we talking about exactly ?

I'm a copyright holder, but I've also been an infringer.

To give a concrete example, a few months ago I took my mother to see Avatar in 3D. Within ten minutes she had a headache and we left the cinema. She was upset at missing the film so I downloaded a copy and she watched it in 2D at home. On the basis that we'd already paid to see it (and hadn't) I think that act of piracy was morally justifiable.
