    You don’t need to teach young children secular studies for the purpose of parnassa. You can teach them a vocation when they are older. They can learn a trade at age 18; they needn’t start at age 9.

    Daniela, you missed David’s point. He isn’t insisting anyone help. He is asking why some of the above posters told him that if he posted his rebbe’s information they will contact him to verify and send him financial assistance. But after David posted his rebbe’s information those posters suddenly disappeared and didnt followup with the promised help.

    Haleivi, your explanation sounds reasonable but Reb Moshe didnt explain it to mean that in his teshuva. Perhaps Reb Moshe only used the term colloquially? You also need to distinguish between a case where the copy caused a lost sale and where it did not.

    jbaldy22, Since Microsoft is still selling Windows 8, older versions of Windows couldn’t be copied under the theory that is no longer selling Windows 7 or Vista, since the current version is still on the market.

    Also, can someone explain the halachic logic why Reb Moshe calls copying “gezel”? Does he mean that in the halachic sense that it falls under actual gezeila or is he using that term in a colloquial sense? If he means halachic gezeila, what is the halachic logic that copying constitutes gezel?

    If he wasn’t wearing a kipa and made his anti-Satmar posts he would rightfully be labeled an anti-semite. Just because he is wearing a kipa, makes his comment no less anti-semetic.

    Avrohom Avinu wore tzitzis outdoors on Shabbos even though he had no obligation of tzitzis, thus he was “carrying” and not violating the prohibition (upon penalty of death) against a Goy keeping Shabbos.

    What heter of copying songs from the radio are you referring to? Whatever it is, it should apply to other copying as well.

    As far as the “I wouldn’t have bought it anyways” that you are referring to, the reason that works according to some shittos is because then the producer is losing nothing. So therefore to answer your question, no you wouldn’t have to pay “what you feel it’s worth.”
