And BAMA isn't attempting to profit from any of it.

If I go into your house and steal all of your belongings, and then
give them to Goodwill, out of the goodness of my heart, then it's
ok, right?



All these guys on ebay are doing is making BAMA's pirated material
available on
a different media.

On BAMA it is free to download, as opposed to ebay where the material is
up for sale. These scum are attempting to profit from the work of others
that is meant to be available for free.

That has nothing to do with anything. If the material is on BAMA without the
permission of the copyright owners, giving it away for free is still theft.

If you think you can get past the .44 magnum, go ahead.

Apparently you have trouble telling the difference between a hypothetical
situation, and an offer to burglarize your house.

.... Actually, my opinion is that the .357 Magnum is a much better
handgun for personal protection... The .44 does indeed make a bigger
hole and has more impact energy, but the .357 creates much less flash
and recoil, making it easier to bring the .357 on target for a second
shot, should it be needed.

A .44 with that's been ported is MUCH more controllable ;-)

As long as you keep it hyothetical you are safe.

So, tell me, why do you feel so threatened that you need to announce
to the world (that is the audience here) that you are armed and looking
for a fight?

There was nothing in my post that could possibly make a literate person
believe I was planning to burglarize *your* home, and yet your first
instinct was to thump your chest and warn off all potential intruders.

The point being made, before you got scared, was that if you steal material,
it really makes no difference legally whether you give it away, or sell it.

This applies to copyright infringement, as well as to physical possessions.

Where did I say I was looking for a fight? and I don't feel threatened,
you come burglarizing my home and you are the one looking for a fight
and will certainly feel threathened. You are the one who brought it up,
not me.

You are challenging me to burglarize your house so you can try and
shoot me.

My hypothetical question, shown above was an attempt to help you to
understand that it doesn't matter whether or not a thief sells, or
gives away stolen property, a crime has still occurred.

.... and I don't feel threatened,
you come burglarizing my home and you are the one looking for a fight
and will certainly feel threathened. You are the one who brought it up,
not me.

I brought up the hypothetical question because you seemed to have missed
an important moral lesson in your upbringing. I hoped that a simple
example, that most anyone would understand, would help you to the see
the parallel between giving away stolen property, and selling stolen
property (hint, the word stolen says it all).

It would appear that there were a few more lessons missed.

Good luck with your life,
