Heidi – it’s a constant topic on Etsy, and I’ve seen so many people brag about breaking these laws lately. From making “mix tapes” to using illegal copies of $700 software, it’s just a topic that has been coming up over and over all around me.

Anyhow, the only time I know of that I came in contact with this is with bootleg movies. What a waste.

This really bothers me, too. I catch a lot of flack from co-workers because I refuse to download movies or borrow movies that have been downloaded or download music, etc. They think I’m trying to be … I don’t even know what they think I’m trying to be, but they don’t like it! (It doesn’t help that I’m not afraid to tell them that I think they’re wrong!) The hard thing here in Canada, is it’s legal to download music (I’m not sure about movies) (oh, and hubby just said that the RCMP has given up enforcing the laws for downloading for personal use, because apparently it’s not worth the resources).

So yeah. It’s legal here, but I still won’t do it, because I still see it as stealing – which people don’t get =) I just say, “Just because something’s legal doesn’t make it morally right.” That’s my story and I’m stickin’ to it!
