Just stop the nonsense. No-one here wants or is a libertarian by the definitions and references on this list. I've already made it crystal clear that I am NOT a libertarian by ANY those definitions.
you've promoted enough loony libertarian ideas and web sites in the past that your current attempt to disassociate yourself from it doesn't seem all that credible.
What is the purpose of continuing this nonsense beyond the much more real issue, within this group, of the right to evade copyright laws and prosecution through illegally downloading movies and tv shows?
does anyone here seriously believe that there is an actual right to do that? or that there should be such a right? some or even many here might believe that privacy rights trump a copyright holder's desire to find the identity of the account holder of certain IP addresses, and that an IP address doesn't identify the infringer. and many might believe that compensation for copyright-holders should be limited to the actual retail cost of the items and any legitimate expenses incurred (or zero if the infringer can prove they bought a copy). and some may think "fuck it, i'm not likely to get caught" and download stuff regardless of copyright laws. but i doubt that anyone really believes that there is a right to infringe copyright. especially since the GPL depends on copyright in order to work. craig -- craig sanders <cas@taz.net.au> _______________________________________________ luv-talk mailing list luv-talk@luv.asn.au http://lists.luv.asn.au/listinfo/luv-talk
