it *is* different.


And if you told a group of 100 people that they could walk into a Best Buy, take everything they want, and the risk of ever being caught being 0.000.....01%.


How many would would do it ? ?

would you also tell them that best buy had an unlimited supply of products that don't cost anything to replicate?

An argument so stupid it's almost...no, it's still stupid. The laws in this country, as well as common sense, recognize intellectual property as a tangible asset.

all i was trying to say is that downloading warez is not the same as stealing something from best buy. you're right, IP is a tangible asset, but the current (and planned) IP laws in the united states are much too aggressive.
