downloading a binary = copyright infringement?

Imric's Tips for Living
  • Paranoia Is a Survival Trait
  • Pessimists are never disappointed - but sometimes, if they are very lucky, they can be pleasantly surprised...
  • Even though everyone is out to get you, it doesn't matter unless you let them win.


Nothing is as simple as it seems in the beginning,
As hopeless as it seems in the middle,
Or as finished as it seems in the end.

"music, comedy pieces, software".

I should note that Free software is very rarely propagated through USENET (why bother? An HTTP or FTP download is much easier), and the likes of [link|http://www.legaltorrents.com|http://www.legaltorrents.com] have got the Free music scene covered.

So while downloading binaries is not of necessity copyright infringement, I'd hazard a guess that the vast majority of material in alt.binaries.* is there without the blessing of the copyright holder.

Hence my split sympathies :-)
