If only the law can be as lenient when we are called up to answer any summons.
The judge will say ... You made an honest mistake, but there's still a little price to pay ...
Enough said from me ... There'll also be copyright infringement it seems ...
well.. despite many people commiting so many darn little traffic offenses and do not wish to pay, they will still think of 1001 crap reasons just to get away and not part their money right ?
law can be lenient, but its all depends on the individual. right ?
the judge if he knows or believes that you are repentant, most of the time, its a lighter sentence. no ?
unless he commits a murder lah ! den he can forget it.
intend or do not intend to copy, by right is WRONG ! no qualms. and no need to fight it out. but what needs to be done is how we can help this poor fellow and led him to the correct path. like i said One cannot change the industry, but WE can educated and lead many others so slowly it will influence and affect the industry. Its like a poison taking place.
ok. a side note. Christian beliefs that Salvation is created for those who have Sinned right ? thou i am not a christian, but i have good and enough knowledge to be one, so thing is that, despite people making lots of mistakes, instead of blaming them, help them see what you are facing, and tell them straight in the face, let them feel that you feel, and they will know what you meant and they will know whats good for them.
Show them the way to a better person, than to damn a talented one. Put it this way, in a positive note. He can copy all he want. Feed him with all the infomation in the world. Will he be able to digest it all ?
he wants to be like mr Knoxknocks. will he even be as good as him even he show works that doesnt belong to him ? even if today, the news havent been shared, he can get the job, but will he deliver ?
the issue now is "He can copy all he want. but can he deliver what he promise ? " cause eventually, when he cant... people will know, he is all talks with air and one wedding ruined. and he is as good as getting a bad reputation right ?
mo2, i know your well intentions for this industry, and i respect you in doing that, but since we all share the same piece of land here in singapore. lets come up with something to help everyone as a whole no ??
PPAS and WPAS or WPN or whatever is known in singapore, but what i hope is all these assocs can really help and EDUCATE first rather den fight for their members.... what all of them need to do is help the community....
