My local public library uses tax money to do "group buying," I guess their criminal enterprise should be shut down? LOL that is a good one! Don't you know the gov't writes laws to make what they want to do legal?? I can't steal legally your land, but the gov't can -- by using a special law called eminent domain to steal it. And they do it all the time in the US. If you look at copyright law, DMCA etc. (I have), you'll see a carve out for libraries, certain non-profits, fair use groups, news organizations, etc. So unless you run the government approved "Gadfly Trading Course Library" just realize that what you are doing is illegal. You can justify it all you want (I personally have used the "well, once I make a bunch of money I'll buy a legit copy from the educator"), but no matter you rationalize it, group buys are illegal - unless the vendor says they allow it. Find me one of those, and it will be a first. And to be clear, I'm not saying it is a good law or a bad law, just that it is a law. If I needed to steal expensive medicine for my 2 year old, that technically is against the law, but I would not feel bad about it.

What shall I call it? How about the Church of the Holy Grail Trader? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stevet4414 Posted July 27, 2020 Report Share Posted July 27, 2020 (edited) "Church of the Broke @ss F@iled Tr@der" might be more appropriate given that most congregants here can only afford less than $100 tithe for a $2K GB that includes me, unfortunately Edited July 27, 2020 by stevet4414 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
