Until then it's not reasonable to expect anyone would know, believe, or care about it.

If they are like you, they wont click a link and if they do, they wont read it anyway?

driverman's either the dumbest guy on earth or an epic troll.

jennifer:

         Ignorance would probably go a long way to a first time offender, Although I deal mostly with just boards, [I have thousands of them]
I would be hard pressed to even know it was bootleged until it was to late to realisticly to anything about it. Non of them came with any
kind of certificate.

saint:
Ignorance might mitigate punishment, but not guilt, for any particular offense. There were two threads running throughout this topic though:

1. Is it illegal? (Answer: Clearly, yes, semantics and rationale aside).
2. Will you get in trouble? (Answer: Who knows. Depends on circumstances and the whim of the authorities).

There seems to be some confusion between points 1 and 2 above, be it through ignorance, stubbornness, or outright trolling -- who knows :)
