Now that's just silly.yea they need to keep the "non-christians" out so through invite-only, when you get invited in you must sing a well known worship song through skype and prove you are worthy of entry into the communityIt's not stealing in the Biblical sense, and it helps spread the Word. Similar to smuggling Bibles in countries where religion is banned. Some quotes from CT's forum regarding this:I agree that the name ChristianTorrents is ironic but for a different reason. Most of the stuff shared through bittorrent is breaking copyright laws, and therefore illegal. I don't know for sure what is being shared there but I find it funny that a bunch of churchgoers share invites to go "steal" religious content.(c) Stealing is by biblical (and legal) definition to take physical property from someone, so that the rightful owner loses his physical property. Breaking copyright laws is therefore not stealing; not by biblical, technical or legal definition. To say that the seventh commandment (yes, it is the seventh) includes copyright, that is to take the commandment right out of its context.Second, unauthorized duplication does not automatically make anyone lose money. It is just what it is: unauthorized duplication. Nothing more, nothing less. If someone takes a picture of my garden, that does not make me lose money; I would not have gotten paid if the picture was not taken, so I suffer no loss.
