No, but what in the world is all right today?

So, you admit that it's not right to take the man's software without
paying for it. Then why do you support that?

It's not in his pocket. I personally have no use for the program.
What I do can't be stolen.

You're avoiding the issue. You seem to support people taking software
that doesn't belong to them. Do you also support people taking things
from you that don't belong to them?

Doubt if you get a sensible answer. I asked him if he had anything he
wanted me to steal from him, all he did was ask if I was naive.






No, I asked have you been this naive all your life. Your being naive
wasn't in question.

You do not know me, or if I am naive.

I know you're being naive.

I know I'm honest, are you?

Really? You've never told a lie?

But
we know you appear to be a thief.


No, it's legal and not theft to use a copy of software, music or videos
where I live. I am not depriving the owners of their software. They
still have it and no one stole it from them.

No, you are depriving them of the fruits of their labor - that is,
payment for the service they provided to you by writing the software,
performing the music, etc.

You're assuming one would buy if one couldn't download it.

In civilized countries, that is considered
theft.


And to which "civilized" countries are you referring?
