>Ok, so you're saying that the analogy of Ford letting people steal cars off of their lots is not relevant here?

You're "analogy" is already deeply screwed. No one is taking Fords. They are copying them. But go ahead.

>Ok, I'll play your game.

No, I don't think you are.


> What if Ford packaged a computer into their car's engine, that gave the driver diplays with basic readouts of the car's functions (warning lights, speedometer, ect.). If for a higher price, you could get your Ford with a more advanced computer, to show you more levels, and even some error correction type of things. If I could find a way to copy the software off the expensive car, and put it on my cheaper model,

> you're saying that I am not hurting Ford at all and that I'm not cheating every honest person who paid for the advanced features?

No, dope, I'm not. You are.

>I'm betting on the latter.

I'm betting you can't read. What part of "emphatically not saying piracy is anything less than crimal" went so far over your head?
