Reply To: our dor and the dor hamabul

I certainly had no intention of being m’katreg on all of klal Yisroel. I was merely making comparisons. I have watched over the last two decades how the western world has become more and more tolerant. Anyone remember how two or three decades ago abortion was a major issue? Now it is so accepted that we don’t even discuss it. Toeiva marriage is slowly becoming more and more accepted to the point that are desensitized to it and begin to feel sympathy for these people’s position/and constitutional rights.

Regarding copying music – I was merely giving an analogy, not a literal comparison. People copy cd’s so much that the Jewish music industry is struggling mightily and may fold altogether. Like the dor hamabul store owner, they can’t really bring ppl to justice. Not because it’s less than a pruteh but because how can they possibly find out who copied music illegally. The end result is still the same. They don’t make enough money to break even on the tens of thousands of dollars it costs to produce a decent cd and they cannot take anyone to beis din.
