This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

I'm not sure I ever had credibility...certainly? not on this forum...but

The actors and producers and people who work on a TV show are payed up front for their work...maybe some back end $ for DVD sales...but are not payed? based on how many people actually watch the show!!
When someone buys a CD at a store or online a % of that sale goes to the writer/musicians...that's the way we make money off the product. If it's shared or downloaded illegaly I lose the opportunity to make $ off my work.
Sure, if I download an episode of BSG Ron Moore may lose a few $...(but I'll buy the box set anyway..) but the lion's share of his earning have been payed already,,,regardless of whether 1 million or 25 million people watched that episode.

No one's gonna back me?? Don't we all rush out and buy a first edition of GW's new books instead of
 downloading an illegal copy???

I won't say
 it's not bad, but it's not the _same_ as theft, and
when people say it is they lose credibility.

Do you consider letting people watch your TV to be theft?
