Re: [orca-list] playing videos in ubuntu

["B. Henry" <burt1iband gmail com>]

This mailing list is public, and archives are available to anyone, We can not suggest or even imply that 
someone break a law, no matter how wrong the 
law may be in many people's eyes, minds and or hearts here. 
That being said we can certaqinly tell people how to install software that is legal where many people on this 
list live. It just makes good sense to 
remind folks about the legal ramafications once in a while so that this list remains apolitical and a place 
that is not distracted by too many 
non-technical and or non-orca related discussion. 
It would certainly not be helpful if some popular tech blog started talking about how a bunch of blind 
radicals were enclouraging folks to  "stand up 
for freedom..." or "Break copyright laws...", depending on their point of view Do I think that would happen, 
no. Do I think some jerk from some record 
company or major coperate Hollywood studio cound stumble on some posts pointed out by a "blind" web-crawler 
and decide to make an example out of our 
list??? Let me just say that it is possible, and more foolish things happen daily in a world so overly 
iinfluenced by lawyers and often poorly thought 
out or just lain bad laws  
 I think the issues related to  copyright law and what software is available to do what where, when and how 
should be discussed, debated and publicized 
to the masses. I do not think this is the place to do so.
