  When needed.

  I find that i usually use the apps whenever i need them instead of all the time. They are not like games downloaded that you would access on a daily basis or mobile e-mail. For example the person that said he has redbox. I may only go to Redbox once a weeek but it comes in handy that one time to get a code for a free movie. Or the NFL mobile app that i only use once a week, to listen to the Vikings game whenever they are playing.

  Apparently Wikipedia has a list of some states with detail of their headlight flashing laws. Just type in Headlight Flashing.
  
  Pennsylvania it is perfectly legal to warn other motorists of a speed trap, but in Florida you will get a $90 fine for doing so.

  Re: Re:

  Alan, apparently in Florida it is. You can get pulled over and get a nice $90 moving violation fine for doing it.

  Re:

  I'm just asking so please do not think i am rude. But have you ever eaten at Taco Bell before? Not that i truly don't have a problem with Taco Bell, but they have a bad rep for good reasons of being a unsanitary place.

  Re: Once again, this is about a distinction frequently not made

  "If the purchaser does not want to buy, the seller is deprived of a sale, but NOTHING IS STOLEN."
  
  That is just absolutely not true because the "purchaser" in your words should have never had the item in possession to begin with, that is what is called theft. I have heard your argument many times and it just isn't true. Your claim is that i can go to bit torrent, download avatar, watch avatar, and decide not to buy the movie avatar all along and that is perfectly ok just because it wasn't a "loss of sale" because you never planned on buying the movie to begin with. That line of thought is false because you should have never downloaded the movie in the first place because you do not own the copyright to have it in your posession without purchase, thus making it an infringement to the law.

  No matter who is on which side of the debate, i just would like to say that "THEFT" is not just the stealing of a "Physical Object", and if anyone disagrees i would love to hear why.
