So are you saying it's perfectly acceptable to take a product with a monetary value from a company without paying IF you deem that their profits are too much?

Are NZB's products with monetary value?

I don't now why you are arguing Batboy, this whole subject is about theft of products that have a monetary value.

NZB have around 700,000 members and is said to make £1million a year from said members. It facilitates it's members in finding the latest copyrighted media that has a monetary value - how can that be right?
It argue's too that if BT put in blocks, it will atempt to circumvent them. To me that sounds like a blatent copyright violation and in my opinion they should be blocked. For gods sake it's not their media to do as they wish with.

Wrong, it's about blocking access to a legal website.

If a bus takes criminals to and from crimes, it's not the fault of the bus driver or company. If however, the bus company advertises areas of potential crime, it's being called an accessory to the crime(s).

So is it legal? That's the big question. They are profiting from others' crimes with the knowledge of them, and have no intention of stopping. In the non-Internet world, the bus company staff would be arrested, and the bus company closed down.

English law doesn't apply to the site.

Hallo! McFly!

It was an analogy.

In fact, when I think of it, I'm law abiding and have no reason to fear censorship. So call it censorship if you like. I'm all for it if it reduces the abuse of law.

Not much of one, that's why I pointed out the gaping hole in your argument.

Still haven't justified why people should not steal others' property.

With the above response and "I pointed out the gaping hole in your argument", I'm wondering if you really have a point of view on this subject, or you just enjoy cherry picking your responses (just for fun), whilst missing the whole point completely.

Do you agree with Theft Batboy?, in this case it's the theft of Media that has a genuine monetary value. A simple Yes or No would be a perfect response - nothing fancy, drawn out or off topic.

Google also links to illegal material. Why is that not blocked? It is the same as newzbin. In fact you can probably get directions to ALOT more illegal material via a google search than you ever could on a newzbin search. This may sound obvious, but im talking legally how is newzbin different to Google ?
