There's a VCR under my bed.

Loadsa stuff you wouldn't think is illegal, actually is.

A radio is for personal use. If I tune in to Classic Rock FM, crank up the volume, and allow my entire street to hear it, that's technically illegal for:

a) me - I don't have a license to "distribute" it

and

b) the listeners in the street - they haven't paid to hear it.

The above example is not something I do (I don't listen to the radio), but is a good way of showing what a bunch of bollocks this sort of subject is.

Or how about this one, but I'm going away from the pirating topic for a moment (the main point here is about making money, which is what the heave-ho over piracy is). Developing a virus to do something malicious (ie, 'borrow' bank details from a computer) is illegal, but without them, there would be no need for companies to make anti-virus software. No virus' - no money-making anti-virus.

Or even more simple: No crime - no police (it would put millions of coppers out of a job)

And how about most of us here, owning a hacked PSP. Do any of us really care what Sony think about us, exploiting their console and games. Not really.

I have a massive DVD and CD collection, but in all honesty, I haven't paid for a film, tv series, or album for quite some time. MEH

Rant over.
