Now, on another matter, money is also just a number. In a bank account. Which I agree, no one can own.

As such could you pm me your internet banking login details so I can do with that number as I please?

Thanks.

No, money is not a number, just because i know the number one thousand it doesn't mean i have one thousand Dollars. If i have one hundred Dollars i own one hundred Dollars but not the number one hundred, anyone can write the number one hundred, or accumulate one hundred of somthing; and if you also got one hundred Dollars i still got my own one hundred Dollars.

Regarding my bank passwords, it wouldn't be illegal for anyone to write down or type a number that can represent them, but using them to access my bank account without my authorization is a whole different matter.

See how flawed this is? Now stop with the bollocks, please.
If you can copy my car without making me not have it anymore, i don't see the problem. The thing with numbers is they exist for everyone, they are kinda like directions, no one can own the direction up, or left etc. If you copy atoms and their arrangements, you're not stealing an object, you're copying it, it is only stealing if you take the original.

Isn't it GPL'd? Unless i'm mistaken, with it being GPL'd, anyone that receives a copy is free to distribute it as long as they also respect the terms; are you saying the GPL is invalid?
