Intersting comments. Why is it the "have nots" think it is their right to steal from the "haves"? Somehow they feel justified in their coveting of them, and stealing from them if only they can tell themselves that the "haves" don't deserve their rewards. Self talk of hatred for anothers accomplishment. Loathing someone for having more than you. It isn't just the big bad "man" in america that seeks copyright protection. I wonder if anyone here advocating stealing copyright material actually have any of their own.
In regards to justice, I was once in the usmc, and participated in operation restore hope in 1992/1993. We went to a small village called baidoa. There had been gangs of thugs extorting the town for its resources, and not just money, food and water. They were raping the women, and stealing their possesions, what little they had. They terrorised the town because they felt they deserved. One of the things the thugs would do is fire a recoilless rifle (a kind of artillery) into the town and kill innocent children until their demands were met.
To say it nicely, we marines put an end to this terror, and we were just. Justice was served. I don't think the thugs saw it the same way. To them, they deserved to get what they stole. They had delusions of rightousness even to the point in which they were willing to kill innocent people. They coveted to the point until they justified to themselves, murder.
