sniff sniff .....hhhmmmm the smell of Rationalisation is in the air
Ok.
Morality : - The ability to decifer between right and wrong, cultured being the social entity that he/she resides in.
hhhhhmmm....
If you are attacked by someone and in protecting your life you kill the person, did you commit a crime?
However....
If you saw someone attempting to kill a woman and you helping her you happen to kill the individual....did you commit a crime?
________
Society dictates that protecting ones life is self-defense, but defending another is manslaughter.
(What the hell is Nastro saying?)
Unlike GodKid's view, I see HEINZ being on the defensive, not for himself, but for his own. The Moral valve that is taught by our social value system is that two wrongs don't make a right. (I am yet to see the enforced) So in society's eyes, unfortunately a crime has been committed.
_________
Lets relate this to Software Purchasing and Piracy.
Like Society's value systems, there has to be some control in the software purchasing field. Such control is dished to us in the form of a License Agreement. Such control is needed else wether we like it or even believe it the software industry would not be what it is today. (Who would invest in the ideas for larger programs? Who would pay large groups of engineers to come together and put an idea together?)
Unfortunately there are those who abuse such control in effort to maximise profits. Numero uno on that list is Microsoft. The requirement of the purchase of Multiple copies of the same software to One person just because the person has more than one computer is hyper foolish and utterly ridiculous.
Society does benefit to a lesser extent by the black market. So does Microsoft and those larger corporations. How?.....
I think I will continue after I hear some comments first
Feel free to say what you must!!!
