see the past few posts from you and Binary have been good and informative and i appreciate that ,,,there was no slandering, bickering or hypocrisy involved,,I'm not a lawyer, but my work includes a lot of working with lawyers.
So - I'd first like to mention - isn't it true if you violate a contract that that's a civil matter?
If I'm right on that, then I'd like to call people back from the ledge of charging others with illegal activities - civil and criminal matters are different, are they not?
Any lawyers in the house, or decent students with a few law courses, or anyone else, want to comment on that idea?
I do know that there's quite a bit of common sense in the law - for example, it's ok to read the above like this:
While it's easy to believe what that means, I gotta ask as a non-lawyer - what does that mean?
Not to get off-topic, but seriously - they really make an assumption about the use of the word tether there.
We know what it means in the context of getting free internet - but the way that's worded - doesn't that mean that you can't even use apps like PlayOn (already shown to be legal for copyright purposes) and if I'm understanding "Wireless Sync" then it seems that contract might be on thin ice anyways.
Not trying to stir the pot, but I just think they're sure not making it easy for lay people to totally get all that might be implied there...
In any case, first point stands on its own merits - I don't think it's illegal to violate a contract. Immoral, probably, actionable, definitely - but not really illegal.
Open for corrections if I'm missing something.
Can't see any argument there.
