  Instructions for beginners

  Many beginners surfing Internet very often don't understand that the site they are surfing on is legally owned by somebody. It actually means that your recording, copying or publishing of any part of the site, without the previous consent from the site-owner is punishable by law because it represents an offence or violation of the site. Try to compare that with the following circumstances: You invite your guests to come and visit freely and with that, you are a good host, looking forward to their visit and do your best to make them feel at home. However, when they leave, you find that many of your valuables have been taken, without your consent. They didn't even ask anything. How would you call that?
