Copyright argument: hypocritical or not?

by Contaminator

Hi UrbanHermit,


I totally agree with you that Don would likely be not amused should he find his work here, as do (or did) the ladies that sometimes visited this site and found more of their sets than they voluntarily released into the wild.


But I feel this issue is a thought-provoking impulse. 98 percent of the material posted here is someone's intellectual property and that's why it is "shared" by rapidshare or any other hosting service.


So what do you (and others) think? Is it okay to infringe copyright as long as the owner doesn't come here and knows about it? If anyone answers with "no", then what are we doing here?

My own personal answer could only be that I am aware of the fact that we are not taking copyright issues seriously in this place and yet we are all here.
