the public means anyone not a family member. so if someone walks in on a film you're breaking the c'right
Quote:This is not business as usual, they are trying to make copyright apply in situations it never has before, and to mean something it has never meant before, and to do so while claiming this has always been the case. They are lying.
the they are the media lobbyists. all they see are more ways to make money, and a way to continue a archaic business model. their aim is stop all file sharing unless they can control and charge for it.
a tv licence allows us to watch terrestrial tv in our house, anywhere in our house. sky charges for each room. putting one's name to the work of others i see as a copyright violation as well as charging someone for the piece, to me both are theft.[/quote]
