+459 The idiom "a penny for your thoughts" has no business being used in an era when anyone can be sued up to $115,000 for downloading a song illegally and when the concept of intellectual property is being abused to no end, amirite?

America: Where you can spend less time in prison for driving under the influence and murdering someone than downloading last week's episode of The Office.

Yeah, as an Amurican, I have a god-given right to only be punished fairly for my crimes. It's so annoying that when I commit a crime, I might receive an unfair punishment. I mean, it's not like I could do the obvious thing, and simply not commit the crime in the first place. Nah, instead, I'm going to complain on the internet about how dangerous it is to commit a crime in Amurica, and if you're an upstanding citizen, you'll agree with me. May God curse any artist who wishes to receive payment in exchange for ownership of his work!!!

Something tells me you're not getting my point. My point is it makes no sense that someone would have more time in prison for downloading an episode that is free already if you watched it live, compared to driving drunk and ending a human's life.

I get your point. There are a few isolated cases of people not being punished enough for murder, and there are a few isolated cases of people being punished too much for downloading copyrighted content. But I think you need to see my point that complaining about unjust punishment is silly when there's no one on Earth who has any good reason to commit this particular crime in the first place.

You're right. We should execute all prisoners, even misdemeanors.

No, but I think that as a society, we need to stop feeling entitled to commit certain crimes because they benefit us. If we feel entitled to break the law, the law stops serving its purpose.

I'm not grasping your logic as to how having just punishments for crimes stifles that in any way.

by Anonymous 13 years ago

It doesn't, and I never said it does. I'm taking issue with the attitude of the typical internet user who sees no moral issue with downloading GBs worth of free content, but then complains endlessly about some isolated cases of people being punished unfairly for crimes they had no good reason to commit other than their own cowardly sense of entitlement.

Yeah we should say "a cat for your thoughts" instead. Cats are like, priceless.
