Re: Philosophical Quandry: Piracy
EDIT:
As I was preparing my second post in this thread, (the one just before Geo�s), I realized this is not a matter of law or philosophy. It is a matter of morals
My first post came to the wrong conclusion.
I break rules all the time. I don�t violate persons intent that I have agreed to. Installing the game I agree to abide by the EULA.
-----------
This comes down to following the
Letter of the Law
Or
The intent of the Law
For the most part I have always followed the intent
The most important part I summarize on the Home page of my site:
�In my youth I was taught that first you must learn the rules, (and understand them), before you can break them. Later in life I developed the corollary, Sometimes you must break the rules before you can learn them, (and understand them)�
My understanding is the intent of the law would make Fyron�s concept legitimate.
In saying so I do not forget it is still ileagle.
