Senate bill bans P2P networks (News.com)Senate bill bans P2P networks (News.com)Posted Jun 25, 2004 6:52 UTC (Fri) by bojan (subscriber, #14302)In reply to: Senate bill bans P2P networks (News.com) by ccchips Parent article: Senate bill bans P2P networks (News.com) > Split hairs (it's copyright infringement, not stealing.) I give you permission to have a copy of my work, at some set price. You violate that by copying it, and giving copies to your friends. How is that different from stealing? They all have copies, I don't have my earnings. When someone steals some physical object from you, you don't have it any more. When they infringe on your copyright, you still own the copyright and can make as many copies as you please. Big difference.
