John Davis, Fisherman, since you steel want to write on this subject, please explain the harm the KM are causing to the watchtower by "violating" the copyrights.
What personal definition of morality do you like?
due to watchtower flagging the mike & kim videos on youtube for copyright, youtube is giving them 6 days before they are shutting down their entire youtube channel.
can you help with a mass downloading program and then reuploading them on a mirror ?
would hate to lose all those good videos!

some people believe that stealing, lying and killing, is not moral.
some people don't.. does morality exist?
if so, prove it..
I think that if morality exists, it must be defined. Proving that it does exist will define it. That is what I am looking for.
What makes conduct immoral? Because it makes you feel bad. Does that make conduct immoral? Also, what makes conduct moral? Feeling?

We do know they have a revenue problem and there is no apparent solution in sight.
That's the point.
However, a solution has been implemented. The solution is to cut expenses and for the pubs to donate at least something regularly by making them aware that they should donate. We will see if the implementation produces the cash.

Fisherman: It is not become something is legal, or illegal that it is thereby moral/immoral. I believe that God (if there is one), will judge solely on morality. Not our blind obedience to imperfect man made rules Laliberte
On the one hand SL leaves moral accountability to God.
It is obvious that the WT lies, distort the truth and manipulate its members through propaganda. Mike and Kim are doing their best to denounce such practices. If, in technicality, they are indeed breaching the Copyright laws, it is obvious to anyone who see's their videos that the motives are moral.
On the other hand not only does SL self defines wt conduct as immoral but wants to go after them holding wt accountable - not to God- but to KM and to Laliberte as justification for breaking the law and encroaching on wt copyright.

fair use is worth exploring and fighting for.
According to Listener, KM has not done that, they just posted using another name.
Laliberete feels that KM using wt material on YT is the moral thing to do ( ' to hold wt accountable') even if it is forbidden by law. He also challenges the morals of a Court Order stopping KM from doing so.

Not everything that is legal is moral and vice versa.
Your statement assumes the existence of morality. If it does exists it must be defined.

surplus in donations
I don't know what he meant. But I disagree that donations are covering expenses because SL Jan 2016 broadcast shows no inflow and for the reasons SBF posted.

@ Laliberte. Simon's post shows that it is not for a public Forum to decide what is lawful.
How is KM forbidden usage of copyrighted material moral after they were given notice to cease and desist by the copyright owners and instead of legally showing good cause opened another account using another name and continued to use the material disregarding YT tos and the owners' expressed wishes. ( Assuming that KM were asked to stop. I don't know if their usage infringes,my posts assumes that they do and that they defied a cease and desist notice )

I never said pioneering made the org money.
It made money before 1990. Where did the cash to buy real estate come from. WT having billions? Cults are about money so that cult leaders can live it up and cult leaders are mostly not true believers. And cult leaders send out their followers to bring money to line their pockets like the moonies of the 70's. Wt leaders were once lowly pubs for 30 40 years and worked themselves up and are true believers and it's no picnic being gb, etc, Too much work and no payoff for all the work.They didn't just appear out of nowhere like cult leaders do. How is wt a cult? It's just a religion with rules for membership. Mormons and Jews and Gypsies shun too. Influencing members does not make an entity a cult. But that is not relevant.
The only teeth is conscience. An awareness that everyone should donate. That is the way the ball is rolling. We will see the results. But donations will always be voluntary and personal between JW and God.
