    What part of "but they don't" do you fail to understand. The website you promoted was taken down because it was a blatant piracy site.

    Lets go to post 184....

    Where do you answer, without quoting law, why it is OK for loss of income through sharing a book but it is not OK to share that same book online to a friend?

    I don't see it at all..

    yes, and with great success.

    if you got shot and you were critically injured and speeding, driving yourself to the emergency room, and got pulled over, and you showed the cop your wound and said "dude i have to get to the hospital!" would you be irritated if the cop said: "you have lost the argument! you are trying to justify speeding!"

    the cop would be right, you were in fact speeding (making you a "criminal"). and if the world were filled with retarded monkeys incapable of understanding anything, we would say you were morally wrong for speeding, a terrible person, a criminal justifying his actions that hurt society. or we could have a tiny bit of sophistication and understand that laws and morality are not the same thing, and think about why things are illegal and if those laws benefit society in all cases.

    Piracy is easy, no one is questioning that. Your notion that because it is easy to steal, then is it OK to steal that is the problem.

    The phony, self-proclaimed triumphs of the self-indulgent. You have no argument left at all other than to declare victory and pat yourself on the back.
