God ruled liable for humankind's downfall

Great Debates

In a ruling handed out yesterday, God was ruled 100% liable for human’s downfall by hyperlinking http://www.The_Tree_of_Knowledge_of_Good_and_Bad.com for Adam and Eve to view. His warning them not to click on the link under threat of death is irrelevant, the court says. This ruling essentially freed Satan from liability for tempting Eve into clicking on the link, says experts.

Now, can you imagine that happening? Well, in a way, it has. 2600.com was ordered not to link to sites that has DeCSS files in them. DeCSS was designed to have Linux users’ DVD devices read DVD disks. Any temptation to use it for piracy purposes is tempered by these facts:

  1. A blank DVD-ROM is more expensive than a movie DVD ROM.

  2. It takes at least 45 minutes to an hour to transfer data from one DVD ROM into another, if one is not using supra-advanced equipment. And using such equipment amy eat into all of the profits into making a DVD-ROM.

It is legal to link to bomb and gun-making sites. Why should the MPAA get so much “protection”? I hope that it doesn’t apply to all “forbidden fruit” web sites.

I think they want to stop mass-piracy of DVD’s before it starts. After all, it only took about a year for CD-RW drives to reach super-sonic speeds, right?

And the gun-and-bomb-making sites… those are sites that actually require you to get up off your ass (oh horrors!) to make weapons. And the possibility of the weapons failing and blowing up the wannabe-terrorist making them also discourages people from taking them seriously.

And your link in the first paragraph doesn’t work. Maybe God took the site down when he got into hot water…?
