Copyright Infringement
Copyright Infringement
There are many things we cannot afford; not being able to afford a
software is not an excuse for copying it.
The size and success of a company do not justify taking from it.
Programmers, writers and performing artists lose income when
copying is common.
Surely we have the liberty to make a copy for a friend, but is
copying a software an act of generosity on our part or an act that
compels involuntary generosity from the programmer?
Even though large-scale commercial piracy is worse, individual
copying is still not ethical.
The number of people copying software does not determine if it is
right or not.
