Ignorance of the law is no excuse for doing illegal stuff
So, people feel syndicating news without having written permissions from the original source is wrong and illegal. I bet if it was to be taken seriously… 80% of the bloggers will be in jail. the rest 20% blogs of course are 1 post wonders.
So, people think downloading MP3s of the net (from sources like Kazaa and not MP3.com) is legal coz someone else is sharing his files not selling illegal stuff. I have 1 thing to say: Ignorance of the law is no excuse to be a pirate.
Quoting from Yuva Audio CD:
All Rights Reserved. Unauthorized Usage & Copying in any form of this recording is strictly prohibited.
Taking this legal warning into consideration:
- You get the right to listen to the CD in person when you bought the CD.
- But if you decide to lend it to a friend, oops… that might not be authorised usage. Get written permission from Venus first.
- Copying. Well, If you are not entitled to copy the CD in the first place… How do you get it into your computer and share it with others through Kazaa? So, you can’t do it legally. And if you download songs from Kazaa. Well, you are sharing a crime with some other lost soul who did the crime of copying the CD to his computer.
Oh My Gawd. We are totally screwed and this World suck. You came to know about it today. I know it since long…
And as for my passion for syndicating news is concerned… My suggestion is, if you don’t want me to quote your site in my blogs… send me a mail and thou shall be blocked from my Browser for ever. I think as a blogger I am entitled to share information for free as long as I mention the source. Getting permission from the source in permission to satisfy lost souls. Well… I have better things to waste my time on. Watching Hindi moves is more fun.

I do not understand how a person that is suppose to be a servant of G-D can receive understanding of Scripture, put it in book form, or a lecture, makes recordings of the understanding recieved from G-D and then copyright that work barring anyone from using it to be passed on to those that have not the expense nor the means to hear or read the understanding that G-D gave him or her. I also take the position that where is copyright law of G-D that applied to the Prophets and the copyright laws that applied to the Prophets. And why are book of Scriptures sold for money instead of given away to any person that wants it. Where did it take place where G-D said to the Prophets, “Alright now, before I reveal to you any of the Knowledge of Scripture I will have to pay me such and such amount before you get it.” And where does it say that the Prophets after receiving the revelations turned to the Sacred Masses, “Alright people, before I give you what G-D revealed to me you will have to pay me such and such before I do.” Is that ridiculous?!!! Then why is it that if Scriptures are put on sale in book form for you to buy. There are a lot of people that do not have the expense to purchase a book of Scripture and Scripture was meant for everybody and given freely.
