 I think it's sound argument, and it be defened from many points.Spare me echo.
 Now you Karan. An equivalent argument is the food cooking recipes
 and especiallly those of great importance!

: A gun is not an equivalent analogy because the "original" is being
: sold, not a duplicate copy of the gun. A good analogy, for those
: that seem to need one, is:

: Mr. A is selling ten videotapes. He has made copies of his orignal 
: set of Disney movies onto the videotapes. He advertises that the 
: illegal copies of Disney's copyrighted movies are on the videotapes.

: So, is it okay for Mr. A to sell these tapes? Or is he breaking
: copyright laws? It is not simply okay for Mr. A to sell copies of
: the Disney movies. He is not off the hook by rationalizing that it 
: is the responsibility of the buyer to not watch the movies.

: Advertising and selling copies of software is copyright infringement.


 If you were a software developer, it's OK[legal] to copy tools to develop
 your own software? Copy right laws are another intellectual and very 
 sophisticated scams. I wonder where would we be if Neurosurgeons and the
 like protect their "techniques" and everyone ought to pay for it dearly?
 Just imagine your physician wants to add extra $400.00 to every patient
 that comes through to see her/him for technique he/she acquired.
 This is all mounts to nothing but lawyers and JVE[joint venture 
 entrepreneurism]. Sic
