Just how did you manage to use the Ra”n to make that quantum leap from violating a Dina D’Malchusa to being oiver on one of the Aseres Hadibros??
Right – I don’t want this thread to turn into a ‘can you copy cds in halacha’ thread, which always gets nowhere. I just want to put down a few ??????:
a) If I buy a program, I have now the rights to do what i like with it – think of a guy who buys a light for the top of his candle, and the seller doesn’t let him light any other candles. He smiles and lights twenty five candles. No problem in halacha. Once i have bought something, it become mine.
In Jewish, we call it a ????.
— And there is definitely no ????? for me to go to somebody with a candle and ask him to light it for me – no matter where he got it from.
b) Even if the Jewish music manufacturers have started using ????? and not-whats, the Adobe Corporation haven’t. And as far as i know, clicking ‘Terms and conditions apply’ is not halachically binding. And even if it is, i don’t think this will affect anything.
c) It isn’t ????? or ????? to copy, because there is nothing. Like there is no problem of ????? of the ?? ???? – or ???? if we are digital – because it is a ??? ???? ?? ???, so to there is nothing to steal. I clicked a button; that is not a ???? ?????.
d) After ????, let’s take on that the ???? is halachically binding [even though it is not – not for now – that will be for whoever bought the program and uploaded it online. I don’t need to keep to YOUR ?????.
Why exactly, is the ?”? helping me violate one of the ???? ???????? Unless using the Internet is a problem?
