I should just be allowed to take whatever I want from the shops because I don't have enough money to buy it!
But these are intellectual property, would you be ok having to pay to be allowed to remember what you saw in the shop ?
Currently If I go to the shop, see a tasty looking ready meal, I can look at what ingredients are in it, go home and try to cook something similar without having to pay for the recipe.
Would a DVD shop be ok with me taking a portable player in, watching a movie, then putting it back on the shelf?
Aren't we doing that with books and magazine already ? Also many stores have TV on which they project movies that they sell dvd for
