This is a question Hypocrisy

Overheard the other day: "I've told you before - stop swearing in front of the kids, for fuck's sake." Your tales of double standards please.

Oh FFS
I enforce court orders for a living....orders against convicted criminals. While at the same time, I have illegally downloaded music playing on my computer.....

Hypocrite? Not me.

Ahh
but Copyright infringement is a civil offence and not criminal - so, you'd have to be sued for your 'offences' not prosecuted.

So that makes it all ok ;-)

But... but...
all the adverts call it copyright "theft", so it must be a crime. Thank fuck there are still people around - i.e. you - who know the difference between infringement and theft.

What gets on my (substantial) tits is the assumption that I must be some sort of scofflaw even though I paid good money for the cinema ticket, or DVD. I've been to the movies and bought DVDs in the USA, and in Canada, and I've not once been subjected to a patronising "YOU'RE A THIEF AND WE'LL GET YOU!" advert. Only in this country...
