Reviewing Pirated media is like driving in a stolen car…

car-lightWell it seems reviewing a pirated copy of X-Men Origins cost a Fox Columnist his job.  After all reviewing pirated media today is like driving in a a stolen car, even if your not the driver.  Its not like you stole the car, you just needed a lift to work.  After all, you don’t even know the guy who stole the car, he seems like a nice guy, heavy accent and calls you ‘My Friend.’ But you were in the car, got a peek under the seat and maybe drank a little from the whiskey bottle.

At this point we all have come across Pirated material since it is so easy to find, however, no one seems to realize what copyright really means.  Some will see it like driving in a stolen car. You might get out of the car before the police catch the criminal or you might be thrown in jail.  We are on that thin gray line that the law of copyrighted material hangs, like the metal thread holding a painting.

So after you get out of the car, the first thing you do is tell all your friends and write about it in a column for a national media company.  This way your telling the world, how you broke the law and how easy this can be done.  While there currently is a gray line for copyright material, I think that this journalist is currently removing frames from his office that use to hang on a metal thread and placing them in box.  You can bend the law, but maybe you shouldn’t write about it to the world.
