You see, there's that fuzzy line again. In for an ounce, in for a pound.

The very act of possessing an MP3 that you have no right to have, is no different than sharing one. The law was broken, in both cases.

I know you think its a lesser evil, but I do not. Its the same evil, with a different connotation.

However, I bow to your decision.

I will point out however, that discussing a wrong, is NOT the same as doing it. If we mention 2,500 audio books between us, and only share them privately, *shrugs*

As long as I do not actually post a link to said books, Leps rule isn't crossed.

*sighs*

In a single years time Duncan, I spot and prevent more illicit file sharing here than most. Prolly not more than you, but thats prolly only because I noticed before you and, took care of it for you.

MOST have direct linking to a program or file that is obviously borrowed. This, is wrong. At least it goes against a policy that this site upholds as wrong.

Discussing borrowed content is just way OTT. I'm sorry. I agree with Leps policy of not promoting, but I will not adhere to the thought police mentality.

Notice, I said Snarkpit general library. Not Public. Semantics? Prolly. But no more or less than music and book MP3's collecting. Which I guarantee that there are 100's, if not 1,000's of songs on most of our machines.

No one would ever be aware that we're doing anything, unless someone pointed it out.

Anyway, this topic pretty much stalled out because of our discussion thus far so, its prolly moot now anyway.

As far as the books go, I am confident that I have more gigs worth already, than anyone here so the library would be at my house. Better known as: "Snarkpit General Library" - care of member #8.
