Listened to the first fifteen minutes on the way to the coffee shop. During the Republican convention I was switching between FOX and PBS. PBS showed the First Lady of Puerto Rico speaking while FOX had talking heads on. But I had not idea about the drama around people shouting her down.
really have to disagree with the assumption that file sharing is stealing. Who are they stealing from? Is anything being taken away from anyone? If I steal something, the person I stole it from no longer has it, because I took it. And you can't argue that you're stealing a sale because downloads don't equate to sales. Just because I download something doesn't mean I would have bought it had sharing with other people not been an option.
Anon,
I actually don't disagree with you. I've read my Lessig and Sterling and think it SHOULDN'T be considered stealing ... but in our current legal framework it is defined as such, creative commons and public licensing notwithstanding. We can go on for a long time about who's fault that is and what can or should be done to fix it, but that's really getting away from the point I was trying to make.
I was just using it as an example to illustrate how religious people often do cognitive gymnastics to justify behaviors to which they should ostensibly be opposed.
