Probably a good idea. Everyone has a right to their opinion, but no-one has the right to say theirs is necessarily right.  

Really?

So I have the right to say what my opinion is but I don't have the right to say that I think it is the correct thing to believe? How ridiculous...

motor: he's saying that you are free to say that your opinion is "right", and you can make a logically true arguement to back-up your opinion. but you can never PROVE that your opinion is necessarily right.

I agree with you, but that's not actually what he said.

Touchy subject I see.

Not at all. I have heard people say many times that you "can't" say that what you think is the right thing to think, when in fact you can say exactly that. You might be wrong and other people might disagree with you, but that doesn't change the fact that you have the right to say it.

I can think of many examples of late, can you? Our world has been changed by people trying to force their beliefs on the world. My point was that we had the right to believe what we believe, but not the right to jam it down other peoples throats because we think we are more right than they are.

Ahh ok, but that's not actually what you said before. For the record I do agree with you here, and I'm not trying to be deliberately obtuse, but I think your original comment that 'you can't say that what you think is right' was a bit vague.

I can't work out whether that was sarcasm... ;-)

This is exactly my point. You have the right to that opinion also without anyone flaming you for it. :)

@Amithony
I believe that in some countries there is a law which states that if software is no longer available it is permissible to distribute it, even if it is still within copyright. This would probably apply to a lot of Amiga software. However, I don't think that law extends to selling the software for a profit.

I never disagreed with you on the issue of piracy in general or this particular case. My only comment was regarding what you said about not being able to say that your opinion is the right one... but it seems we are actually on the same page there ;-)
