"Did you miss this?

"Okay - as a lawyer, I am going to give this one more try. Copyright infringement is illegal."

Period.
"

Now the sixth time, I know this :P. haha. This is ridiculous. You do read each time I say this, right? I'm not saying it isn't illegal, or that it is right etc.. at all.

"People are sued for it all of the time. That's like being arrested for stealing... "

Not really...since one is brought about by the law, and another by civil action..

"ignore people who know the facts."

The fact is that you cannot, in the case of copyright infringement attribute each case to a loss. This is exactly what the RIAA do with their anti-piracy propaganda. You think that they can claim hundreds of millions of $$ of loss revenue of music downloads when many of the people wouldn't have bought it otherwise?


You keep telling me over, and over, and over again that the infringement of copyright is illegal, but this is not what this discussion is about. The reason It may appear that you are talking to a 'brick wall' is I'm not talking legalities, I'm not talking about right/wrong. Do you understand what I am talking about?

Give me claws and a hunch, just away from this bunch.

Sweet Jesus.

Theatrediva, what qolbinau is trying to get across is that copywright infringement and theft are not the same crime, do not have the same outcome, and are not enforced under the same circumstances.

As qolbinau said, it's the difference between walking out of a bookstore with unpaid merchandise and photocopying pages from a book. Both illegal, but different offenses.

That is all.

When you take something that doesn't belong to you, it's stealing.

That is all I'm saying.

They both have the same roots, which is why it's so easy to mix them up.

They both essentially have to do with taking something that's not yours. Difference is that when you infringe, you're not only taking something that doesn't belong to you, but you're claiming that you made it.

It's wrong either way.

It's wrong either way.

Sure, but the messages are muddled. "You must hold to this version of the script that hasn't been performed professional in 20 years because it is immutable/ Every professional revival of virtually ANY show is usually drastically altered from it's original inception."

"You MUST create an entirely original production./You must never create an original production if you are doing West Side Story, A Chorus Line, etc."

I mean, maybe I get the outrage if a regional professional company "steals" the designs, but amateur companies? Give me a break. It's two bit community theatre. It's like when people were outraged that a high school did Follies because they felt the audience deserved better.
