Thing is that it offends some to such a degree that it's best to keep it off the Agenda out of both politeness and self-preservation.

(thank god you didnt say Rule #1)
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

I'd place a small bet that in Clapton's case it won't have been him scouring eBay looking for $10 bootlegs.
Some Christians dislike Beelzebub, and in the past they burned people for liking him but now mostly get Nicholas Cage to star in films about him... they've been able to work through their dislike... seems unfair that now any time anyone dislikes God (or his earthly representatives), they'll kick off like a six year old girl with a grazed knee.
exactly cos you wouldnt get Christians doing that, or going round knocking on doors invading privacy, god forbid................( whoops dodges lightening bolt)

Common sense would dictate that if the lady in question put the bootleg on ebay and then was asked by Clapton's reps or ebay to take it down (due to it's unauthorised nature) then ... seems reasonable - no harm, no foul right? Anybody would say ok... I will not sell this on this website...
But this went to court - so was the original 'don't sell' request to the seller ignored - prompting legal action -at which point anybody would know lawyers cost money and there's risk involved in going down this route? She appealed against the intiial ruling...the fees stacked up...
etc..
Yeah - I can see how this happened. It's crazy (and not particularly advantageous PR wise for Clapton) but ....

The irony, in some comments, is strong.
Our optimism suggests to us that the vast majority of the membership here could, and should be deemed "polite company".
Now, we all know the old adage that, whilst in polite company, you shouldn't discuss Politics or Religion.
I personally don't think any rules have been broken in this thread to date - there's probably a bit of hyperbole and a touch of bandwagon jumping going on, but only a mild case of both.
However, I would probably advise staying off the subject of religion lest it ended up in leading to a rules break.. of course, you are more than welcome to go and debate the finer points of whether god/God exists in P&E.
For now, I'd say that the only reason I've needed to poke my modmin nose in is to politely ask that the derailment stops and the thread goes back to discussing the OP....please?
