I refuse to get into another pissing match...let's just say after dropping a lot of cash on content today, I'm probably a little biased on this particular argument. To me, it is extremely easy. You want to use someone else's work....you pay them for it. Period. I know that is simplifying things a tad too much. But it still rings true. Allow me to rant on my philosophy in life...a philosophy that took me a whole lot of time, mistakes, etc. to come upon. If you live your life right, don't fuck anyone over, obey the laws of human decency (notice I didn't include laws of the land, which are far too subjective
) than you will live drama free, you will prosper and you will be much happier...period. So SweetJimmy do what you like, hell copy my shit if it makes you feel better. I know in my heart that you will never get ahead that way. Even if your bank goes up you will be brought down in other ways. Don't you get it? Everything in nature has a way of evening out in the end. If you live your life right...you will be alright. As for your particular arguments on the subject, I don't have the time or the inclination right now to argue all of them. Let's just say that I let my opinion be known and am not contesting or supporting your arguments at this time
