I think you had one reply. I assume everyone else has obtained or sold stolen or illegal goods.
I wonder how many will have stolen music, movies, software, chipped xboxs/wii/playstation/DSi's with illegal games on them in their homes?

Maybe more people do think its down to the level of theft that matters. £1 from granny or £1000 worth of stolen games/software.

I have voted 'no' but by no means would they be absolved.

So everyone who has ever commited a crime is a criminal for life? And you can 100% say you have NEVER done anything wrong.

See above. But IIRC you in the good old days loved to drink, never got into any fights, always the perfect saint.

I have proved I have my own opinion and if it goes against the grain I will not change it.

If you found out a close family member, perhaps your offsping, was sexually abusing a child, would you similarly help them avoid the law of the land, and them paying for their crimes?

Completely differnt story all together, as for the Opening post, didnt go in to te details of the alleged offence the child had done, look at my example.

Any justification for this comment.

You have no right to say anything about my children, if you want to get personal PM me.

Nope none of those either...although I have downloaded music I have paid for on disc to my MP3 player......not realising it was not legal. I reckoned if I had paid for the disc I could transfer it to my device to play it.

I did buy a Kindle and the seller sent me a lot of books on disc...many of which are in the public domain...but some of the others may not be kosher(but I would not have known this if Mick hadn't recommended an article in a computer magazine). I also once came home with a tube of KY jelly(used) in my pocket(don't ask) and a roll of surgical tape...but I took them back in my clean uniform pocket the following shift.

Maybe you should make a thread about this? The only way to do these things, is to be sat at home. Not owt on the streets trashing the place.

I thought about a thread but I doubt people would admit it after what they posted on this one.

Ignorance of the law is no excuse

Lots of people do that, I read the government were thinking about changing the law so you could do that. Not sure if it will happen.

A few hundred years ago they brought in Transportation for stealing a loaf of bread -perhaps it could be revived as a remedy for many evils.....can't think of a suitable destination though -any suggestions? (preferably somewhere with no electricity so they can't use their ill-gotten x-boxes etc....)

I know that ignorance of the law is no defence...I have admitted my 'crime'........it does not make me change my views of the subject of the thread.
I'm away off now to take all that illegal music off my MP3 player!

I will be able to put it all back again when the copyright law changes.....until then I guess I will have to lug around one of those ugle disc players.....I do have one................ somewhere!

The only Youtube I watch is what is posted on here...I'm not a big fan of Youtube....or films......the music I like, I usually buy on CD, but have recently bought MP3 tracks from amazon...to make my own playlist.......I would assume that this is legal.(unless any of you know different)

Love the way everyone says yes, but in the real world would you really.

I hope that this scenario never presents itself to me, as I am/will bring my baby up to know right from wrong & to respect other people and their property, but if the situation did arise then yes I would march him down to the police station. If his is stupid enough to commit a crime then he will face the penalty of the law, those that say they wouldn't shop their own kids are as worse as they are, you are condoning what they have done by covering for them and not reporting the crime they have committed.

Do you realise the complications your child having a criminal record could being for them, having to disclose the conviction for 5 years. (maybe more dependant on the punshment given by the Courts).

what a stupid comment i certainly do realise that if my child was a criminal, it would have to take resposibility n live wi the consequences of its actions simple as. not hide behind his parents, thats a fine thing to learn any kid.
