who wants hellfire?

Hi, malach cha movis

Before others attempt to castigate you

Oh, I don't think that will be an issue. ;)

the problem does not lie with the one who makes the offer. That person is trying to be helpful or friendly. The major fault would lie with the potential recipient.

I disagree with that statement. First, we really do not know WeiZ's motivation, so I won't pretend that I do. An offer of heroine is still an offer to risk your life. Doesn't matter how nicely the offer is made. (Just taking things to the extreme here.)

There's choice involved for both giving and taking. The responsibility definitely goes both ways.

As for my own little revelation about software sharing, I believe it was in the Dalai Lama's book that I read this quote: "One needs to become intimately familiar with the rules, so that one knows how to break them."

On the issue of piracy, in my mind, there's a difference between offering to rip "Sacred Love" for a friend and pirating a Sting concert to sell on eBay, but in the eyes of the law, it's just a matter of degree.

The Devil was finished when he fell. Faust made his decision. That doesn't mean that both don't burn.
