Trying to apply the Bible to modern intellectual property law is tantamount to insisting that Marquis of Queensbury rules be used in the Balkans. The Pharisees have taken over the courts a long time ago. Like it or not, whomsoever can hire the baddest lawyers can often get a case to come out how he wants, regardless of what is right. As I have said before, good sense and law are two different realms. If you want to swim with the sharks, go ahead, but don't get offended if a shark bites--they're just being sharks. What you may want the world to be like and what the world is are not necessarily the same things. If there is no court case specifically pertaining to an issue at hand, there is no legal certainty in this day and age. It stinks, but reality has a habit of doing that. Sorry to tinkle on your campfire, but what we would like to happen isn't always what happens in the real world.
