Default Re: Honor Systems

Onto my question: Could you see an honor system WORKING in the case of music/movies/games?
What if the customer could choose how much he wants to pay for the media/record?

The "honor system" about using pirate music/movies/games will obviously work if you get thrown in jail for violating the rule. And if you know someone who is violating this "honor system" and do not report, you're in jail too.

So yes, any "honor system" would work [or has a high chance of working] if the consequence is harsh enough [such as expulsion for missing a citation].

Singapore probably has more people following the "honor system" than any country in the world; probably even more than the Vatican haha.
