My posts on intellectual property here and here generated many interesting comments. I have more to add to this discussion, and have come to some realizations and conclusions – but am left with even more questions.
In the “Hypocrite” post, what I did was clearly wrong. To review, what I did was watch a recently aired pay per view event on a website that I found that was hosting a video of the event. I didn’t email the site owner to see if he had a permission from the owners of the content to air the video, but it is virtually certain that he did not. What I did there was wrong, illegal, and unethical. I won’t do it again. Which means that I won’t be watching UFC events until they come out for free on cable. The price is just too steep for me.
