      because where do u draw the line between have and have nots ? what about those that make enough money to be able to buy shit and then say they don't have enough money, if u let one group of people ( the have nots ) have their way then everyone will just take advantage of it no matter what there financial state is, you cant have a rule for one and not the other, that is just ludicrousness ... i mean i,ll like a couple of ferrari's a nice big mansion etc etc but why can't i have them ? effectively i,m a have not but that doesn't stop a person with a mansion and a couple of ferrari's being a have not because maybe he doesn't have a private jet or a yaught etc etc... do u see my point ?

        Excellent point. I think you understand me better than I understand myself. Perhaps there should be a law that prohibits anyone from driving anything other than a ford taurus? I don't think it to be socially (or morally) acceptable to rub one's wealth in other peoples faces. Ferrari-owners do exactly that.

        Indeed, we should not have a rule for the haves and another rule for the have nots. Instead, we should liken our rules to equalify the haves to the level of the have nots. Only then will true social justice be realized. On that note, I find it rather disturbing that you berate the have nots and believe we should let the 'haves' be the lodestar from which we create our rules. I thought it was fairly obvious based on the current popular economic theory that wealth gained by one individual always deprives another individual of their wealth. As it has become standard parlance, the rich become richer - therefore, the poor must be getting poorer. Since the poors become more poor involuntarily (i.e., whatever the rich do to get richer is at the expense of, and the rights of, the poor), it is unconscionable that we set laws tempered to those who, essentially, steal from the poor.

              i think you've completely miss understood me, many people with talent have worked their ass off for years ( usually from nothing ) trying to get to a stage where an actual product is ready for market just for someone to have the ability to take that product as their own, this is wrong imo... i mean u work your ass off all day in your job and maybe by some nice clothes or whatever pleases you but how would you feel if i were to walk into your house and take those clothes for myself ?

              the system as it stands has flaws that many people are using to their advantage, the system has to have "something to strive for" so that it drives people to find out new things, either that or we all become robotic numb skulls living the same life with the same tools and the same things throughout, i suppose you could take the argument one step further and say this is a better for the have not people but do you really think this world would be where it is technology wise if the system you are suggesting was in place ?

              there are always 2 sides to every argument and in some ways i wish some of your system was in place for the severe have nots ( i.e. africa etc ) but come on man this is something completely different we are talking about

                Not to spoil the fun....but Mariner is a master of sarcasm, which I think flew right over your head. He's just taking commie/social justice/Marxism rhetoric to its logical conclusion.

                        Software Makers Shun SOPA Bill

                        In a reversal, Business Software Alliance now says the proposed anti-piracy law overreaches.

                        November 22, 2011 12:22 PM
                        A group that represents a number of major software developers, including Microsoft, Adobe, and CA, has withdrawn its support for the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA) bill, which would require Internet companies and other players in the tech ecosystem to deny services to suspected software pirates and copyright violators.



                        Hopefully this bill dies off...
