The Customer's Always Right, Right?

Now, I'm perfectly aware that there are distinctions in the world. I realize that I am not the smartest, the prettiest, the bestest, but I try to hold my own in a lot of categories. One of those categories is knowing what's right and what's wrong. Sure, I've stolen things. Yes, I lie on occasion. But when it comes down to things that can seriously impact me, like murder or copyright infringement or something, I know exactly where to draw the line and I try to do it not only for myself, but also for others who may look to me for advice.

I tried to convey these distinctions as best I could to a client recently. They pretty much dismissed my protestations, ostensibly telling me I was incompetent, and that I was making a mountain out of a molehill.

Naturally, now my secret wish is that the mole living in that hill is vengefully litigious and has a pack of high-priced lawyers at his beck and call.

Why is it that some people just can't understand how wrong it is to infringe someone's copyright? I mean REALLY. Would they want someone to come to their home and steal something that belongs to them? That's what it comes down to. Copyright infringement is stealing someone else's property. Just because you can download a pirated movie, mp3, or software program doesn't mean you should.

By the way... nice to read your updated blog, grrrlfriend.
