let me ask you a question:
would you copy a car, if you could? and all it took, was a little bandwidth. would you?
i said it earlier in the thread if pirates had ability to do same thing (taking/using/stealing/copying w/o permission) to tangibles like smartphones, cars and anything else, without repercussion they would do it in a heart-beat. you don't have to be Nostradamus to realize it.
would you do it? the question was not: "would I do it?", because i already know that answer.
i'll retract "pirates" from above comment.
most people would take something if it was free for taking, less people would do it illegally if they knew they could get away with it - and if others see that nothing bad happens to them more would join them in such activity.
if people were ending up in jail for copyright infringement, there would be significantly less piracy going on. Since there are very little repercussions, a lot of people got used to the idea of free taking something that's not free and now feel self-entitled that world should hand them everything for free conveniently on the plate.
in the case of the copied car, no one would lose anything.
