But who is to say when that logic is to apply. By number of employees,
volume of inventory, sales or profit maybe. Then it could always be made
into a matter of greed. I do not think IPExpert is about greed and I know
they are only trying to protect themselves, but why is a copyright not good
enough anymore?
The license doesn't stop piracy anymore then the copyright does so what is
the point? When will it lead to the types of things that you were stating
about the music industry? Aside from these discussion points, doesn't it
just strike you as somewhat draconian or in fact maybe greedy or downright
mean to expel someone from a forum simply because they were using the
material with their study partner? What is up with that and what does that
say about IPExpert. Here is a guy who spent 500.00 bucks on material that is
easy enough to simply download for free and he got kicked for using it with
his studying partner. Is that really necessary.
(Sorry Loizios. Just couldn't put it down)
