[widdershins] The Pirate Act

[Marc Goemans]

Hello Y'all

What I, as a European law student doing research in this area, find
interesting is the word "theft". Is it possible to steal, for example,
software? And if so, does that mean software is a tangible something? And if
you answer yes on these questions, which I do, it implies that software
should be protected by something else than copyright law. This may sound
trivial to some of you but it actually isn't.

We have got to get these ignorant politicans out of power, they think that
more regulation will solve the problem... They don't look at why people
violate copyrights. Putting more power in appointed officals such as they
attorney general only spells the end of our privacy and freedom.
