Re^3: Rotating IP Addresses for Scraping

That's like saying "I stole a car* but it's okay because it was for an 'economics' project so it's legit."

* Or book, CD, movie, whatever...

It's impossible to steal a movie. One could con someone into transferring the rights to a movie to oneself, but that would be fraud rather than theft. One can make a copy of a movie, and while that can be copyright infringement, it's not theft. Maybe you were referring to DVDs? Only the medium (DVD, Blueray disc, reel, hard drive) can be stolen.

Yes, I misspoke. I was referring to the medium. I'm actually a bit surprised that I didn't say "album" instead of CD.	[reply]
