So, he, he, if we all copy movies we rent we'll be OK? Who is willing to start off?

I know my kids (I am ashmaed to say) have done much to establish the principle that copying games is the custom and usage.

I am being facetious, but I do find something very troubling about having a big gray "maybe you are violating the law maybe you aren't" cloud hanging over speech.

Don't others? Don't we strike down statutes the least bit vague that limit speech because of the chilling effect that uncertainty creates?
