Piracy=copyright infringment, right? And piracy=stealing, right? They're actually closely connected. Anyone agree? Nevertheless, copyright infringement is a crime and as long as Christianity goes, all crimes are sins.
If God were real, he would forgive everyone's sins...including the ripping-off of an entirely orginal concept, the blaspheming and even our denial of God' existance...but that's no excuse for the Dance Praise guys to go out there in their money-making rampage, masquerading their crimes as God-centered acts. Their, well, 'good' idea was overshadowed by the 'evil' it comes along with. Any logical person can see that...Christian or not.

You mean, like, the likes of the Ku Klux Klan, Religious Fundamentalists, and even Adolf Hitler, who used the name of God for their own self-righteous purposes?

In modern vernacular, that's one definition. However, that's an emotionally-loaded slang term created and propogated by industries that stand to profit from extremely draconian copyright fascism. Calling something something else doesn't make it something else.

Absolutely 100% incorrect.
According to the Bible*, Jesus was a frequent criminal who ignored or broke many laws (both Roman laws and Jewish laws) during his life, and was actually executed as a convicted criminal for these crimes. His followers had frequent run-ins with the law and many of them were similarly executed for various crimes. A very high percentage of early Christian leaders spent much of their lives in prison, and many died there or were executed. Throughout history, Christianity as a whole has often been on the wrong side of the law, and has been totally illegal in and of itself at various times and places. In these times and places, Christians were breaking the law just by being Christians, and yet I don't think you'd call that a "sin". In the early United States, when slavery was the law of the land, many Christian groups were involved in clearly illegal but very moral and noble efforts to to rescue and assist slaves (see: Underground Railroad). Many Christians engaged in illegal Civil Disobedience to protest segregation laws (see: Rosa Parks), and these acts contributed greatly to many of the freedoms that America enjoys today.
* No, I don't actually believe in the Bible or that Jesus ever existed in any form at all, I'm just pointing out that within Christianity, according to their own sacred documents and established history, lawlessness and Civil Disobedience are grand traditions that have seldom been regarded as sinful.

If there were a God, I don't see why he'd care if we believed in him or not.

Whoa, do I agree with EBT on something?
If anything, the idea is "Follow the law UNTIL it requires you to break the laws of your religion." I don't think the tenth comandment was "Steal, copyright infringe, and thou shall live happily forevr!!!11"
In fact, most of the laws that Jesus broke were religiously inclined. He was accused of working on the Sabbath (when he was healing people), blaspheming (calling himself God), but he didn't just go out and steal things from people. |

I did no such thing.
A Christian tried to claim that his holy book forbids copyright infringement. Having actually read his holy book in its entirity a couple of times in the course of my life, I corrected him by pointing out that it actually doesn't.
As a matter of fact, do you know what the only religion is whose holy scriptures actually explicitly declare copyright infringement to be a sin? Scientology. Not very surprising, really. |

stealing my property or stealing and profiting from my ideas is still stealing from me even if nothing physical is taken
and that you call scientoloigy a religon means you lose at life

Amen brotha! Exegete!!!
Just because God didn't spcifically say "Thou shalt not steal candy from a baby!" doesn't mean that could argue "Oh, the baby has no rights, and thus you can steal it!" Your supposed to use judgment to discern what falls into which category... copyright infringment IS stealing. NO MATTER WHAT. If I'm talking about the bible, current law, ebaums world, or Pepsi stealing the friggin' Studebaker symbol... It's stealing!
To take (the property of another) without right or permission.
-The American heitage Dictionary of the English Language
It's intellectual PROPERTY... emphasis on the property. Thus, to take someone's intellectual PROPERTY without right or permission (in the case of lyrics, music, picture, film, or index card wrapper design) is STEALING!!!
Clear, cut, simple.
EDIT: The baby scenario was rediculous and laughable at best, but still an analogy none the less! |

What the hell is wrong with you, eightbit?
You require 1,000 Hail Marys for this one-year thread bump.
