same goes for bob, if you're talking ethics then you and i have a different set, and furthermore if you're strictly talking ethics and theory and i'm strictly talking practicality then we're incompatible. in theory and following the british royalty's set of ethics ghandi was wrong from picking up salt, in practice and his ethics he was not.
i don't know why you've been talking theory when the original article and implications etc. are already happening in practice and laws are determined based on practicality in a just society not strictly theory. i don't know what you're trying to get across other than you consider me a thief, by outdated standards and ideals that have been around since the invention of the printing press, and only that long.
i find it strange to read your responses as they seem to pattern after mine except that your points are contradictory and often don't argue anything, you say you already stated this or that but you didn't. maybe you intended to?
your arguments have actually been:
- yoav isn't witty enough(comparing me to pft, well comon i can't compete with that)
- yoav doesn't know enough musicians to have an opinion or insight into their wants
- yoav talks in a confusing way
- yoav didn't copy and paste enough quotes of successful artists speaking out against the riaa and for piracy, he should have spent more time finding them
- yoav is a thief by bob's standard of ethics
- yoav is a (fill in random shouting and swearing)
- that talking about bob's ethics regarding piracy have anything to do with telling the riaa to fuck off(you've been way off topic)
- yoav is a socialist (well, i'm a democratic socialist, free healthcare ftw)
- yoav hates artists(??? wtf)
- yoav hates art(??? double wtf)
i think the fact that what i'm saying is confusing you is a clear sign that it's been going over your head. i think that's the definition of something going over your head. look at me, now i'm talking theory.
