Forgive my ignorance of this Ganesha... I have heard of Ganesh... as in the Hindhu god... is Ganesha something different, the same, or do I just have it all wrong?

Ganesha and Ganesh are just alternate spellings.

Actually torrenting is alot more like borrowing or swapping shared information than stealing. But call it what you want.

Yes, all video stores pay licensing fees. They cannot just run out to Target and buy their movies at "bargain prices". If you look at the beginning of almost any movie, there is a big warning about exhibiting the medium for profit, and I don't think they would overlook a company like Blockbuster, who is posting quarterly profits in the tens of millions of dollars taking advantage of them. The fees tend to be higher on new releases, or movies that have a large continuous following.
And Libraries do not operate for profit. There is no evil old man named Thomas Horatius Library out there that is picking up big late fee dividends and polishing his bejeweled monacles. They are a public service, and most of their funding comes from taxes. They also get much of their money and many of their books from donations.
Downloading from torrents is sharing media that are not yours. I don't care if anyone does it and steals from the big corporations, as they will only inevitably find a way to make their media profitable again. Just don't come bitching 10 years from now when the majority of films that come out revolve around things like taking a journey around the world to find the coldest Mountain Dew.
Bottom line, GK is a friend at this forum, and unless he says "Hey guys, I want to share this with you, here's the torrent and written legal consent", or just one or the other; you are pretty much putting your balls in his mouth.

P.S. tckfui, only the first two parts are for you. The third is for anyone that is actively trying to screw GK. I don't want you to think that because I adressed the questions in your post that I was directing it all at you.

cool thanks for the info. I aalways though that they must pay some sort of fee... but with libraries... well lets take harry potter for example since billions of copies are sold... so.. each library buys 5 and 25 people read each copy... when if there were no libraries these people would have to buy this book.

Conversely, although a publisher (Or author, but they are not usually so profit minded) may not be seeing the quick buck when it comes to Libraries, and the loss of revenue associated with them, they are much more likely to make more money in the long run due to them. Book publishing has taken quite a hit in the last hundred or so years. Although literacy figures are incredible compared to what they were, and the modern economy permits many small luxuries to the common man; media other than print bombard the average person every day. Technology, be it the advent of radio, television, internet, or the motion picture, has afforded all people to a choice in entertainment; and we have travelled far from the days of people camping out in New York Harbor awaiting the arrival of the next chapter or a serial-printed Dickens novel. Now, publishers are delighted to see people going into libraries, as those people are readying themselves to be consumers of the printed medium. Chances are, they will buy books as well.
You could argue that the same effect would take place in all other media, and that file sharing will only grow the awareness of other media. The only difference is-- those media are in fashion. If movies went out of style in light of the advent of a new competing medium, they will be giving away plenty of free samples as well-- anything to get you back on the junk. It is the same reason that you can go on the internet and download free mp3s of all the garage bands you care to ever hear; but, if you want the new Justin Timberlake single, you better pony up some cash.
Besides, I would just like to say, and I don't think this idea is terribly controversial-- Literacy is good.
