#5This is interesting, because it works on the same principal as software piracy: The original isn't "stolen" it's merely copied. The original is still intact.
I'm wondering if the same people that are so zealous and pro-piracy would be fine with someone taking their site and duplicating it.

Very interesting comment. For me the line is profiting from the copied content/software. I am opposed to people selling pirated movies on the streets and not so to people downloading and watching them in their homes.

IS IT the same principle? Usually pirated software distributors don't claim original authorship.
I'm not saying that the "merely copied" argument is correct, I'm just saying that I think the situations are different.
