  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

Has the Vatican said anything about pirating music?

If not, they need to. There's too many people out there that just don't want to admit that it's stealing.
I've asked three priests about it. All three of them pretty much said the same thing. That if you're not selling it, then it's alright.

That's why the Vatican needs to speak.

Look at it any way you'd like, it is stealing. It is taking something that is not yours.

I didn't give an opinion on what I thought. I don't pirate music. I just said the priests I have talked to have said that it was alright to do.

Sorry stray, but downloading is illegal.

Do you feel that it is morally acceptable to pirate a $500 piece of computer software?

That depends if I am violating the license and law in the process.

I'm still not sure if downloading music is 'illegal' or simply something the RIAA wants you to think it illegal.

Yeah, I also heard that downloading wasn't illegal. Maybe the law has changed. :scratch:

I don't consider it stealing. If you want to support the artist, buy a ticket to their concert. That's where the vast majority of their money is made. Paying $15 for a CD lines the record company's pocket with about $14.75.

How do you not consider it stealing? You just admited that you are taking away $14.75 from a recording company.
