Oups, sorry... The law is made by the rich/wealthy.
Really great exaples of the mighty capitalist *law* in action:
Roche - the producer of Tamiflu (the only drug known to slow down avian flu) sais it won't release the "source code" of the drug so any company can manufacture it because it contains (quote) "sensitive commercial information".
And guess what? The law, as you cite it, stands 100% behind this.
So it is LAWFUL, but is it MORAL? Those fascist fucks put millions of human lives behind petty corporate profits.
I ask you, anonymus reader above, who makes "the law" God(s)? Uber-intelligent aliens? All-knowing beings?
Nope...
Newsflash: the law is made by the rich. If the law was based on moral/human principles this would've been a completly different world.
As for the bullshit of "no one is forcing you to buy their X"... gee... I guss nobody is forcing me to buy gasoline, or crappy operating systems or crap...
The "licenses" are made to slave you, drain every bit of money out of people. They don't care about jack shit BUT profits. Plus, that guy didn't pirate jack shit. He MADE a program. He didn't steal anything.
In fact, he used his talent, knowledge and intelligence to CREATE something. But that, of course, is in conflict with some MBA degree-d f-ks in charge somewhere that only care about cache.
No one's forcing you do do anything, right? That's why you can die infected by some mutated bird flu firus rather than play the piss poor corporate game of capitalism and it's "laws" that protect the "intellectual property" of Roche.
By the same "laws" B-Lizard should be sued to hell for literally copying whole concepts and ideeas from LOTR. The whole Warcraft series is just a copy-cat of LOTR. What exactly is the "intellectual" creation of B-Lizard?
The "laws" are made to protect those who make them. That's why 99.99999999999999% work people overtime (to say the least) and still pay them the "negociated" 8h work pay.
In US the unions were virtually wiped out demonizing them as "commnnists" (with the old communism == totallitarism routine) and crap so now workers (wether a construction worker or programmer) have jack shit rghts and corporations have all the rights.
How can you quote the "law" when the "law" allows corporations to send hundreds of it's citizens into unenployment (again, in any working field) by giving corporations the "lawful" right to move their production to cheap labour countries?
That's whay US is in the deep-shit situation where people who payed thousands of dollars on universitary studies are forced to take up piss poor teaching jobs in highschools?
Who's winning? At home people are unemployed, over seas, indians, chineese or whatever are worked in slavery like conditions with minimal pay while most of the profits go into the belies of the "ruling staff".
Really great, this "law" of yours...
As for personal opinions... nah... we live in plutocracies. Ordinary people don't count...
