Stealing music is wrong. Apple should fix their system so bands like my friend's band don't get ripped off.

It is bullshit, the band is the only entity that can publish its work.

Despite this, stealing music is wrong.

LOL - come on! Don't roll over so quick. I bet I can find a study that shows the opposite. Actually I just found one that says it is about the same: http://www.businesstown.com/entrepreneur/article1...

Actually, the studies I saw show just the opposite: http://digg.com/u16g6U The divorce rate is lower and happiness is higher for entrepreneurs. What studies are you referring to? Ironically, the best reason for not doing business with someone who cheats on his wife - adultery is VERY time consuming. How much time could an adulterer spend working on his company? With all of the lying and deception and secret meetings - man I hardly have time to read my email, much less have an affair.

Exactly, the more trust we put in someone the more we expect from them. Since haven't put any sort of trust in you I don't have any sort of expectation. If I hired you for a position at my company I would expect a little more. If I hired you as CEO I have expect a lot more. If I invested a lot of money in your company I would have even more expectations. Finally, if I elected to represent me in Washington I would have TONS of expectations. Thanks for the comment.

Dan Owen of HO2 Partners, a local VC, responded via email to my question:

Three questions--
1) Will this behavior put the entrepreneur's marriage at risk? The last
thing you need is an employee distracted by the trauma of divorce, or a
divorce attorney trying to take a spouse's community property share of
your venture.
2) Does the marital infidelity indicate a broader pattern of deception
and untruthfulness?
3) Is the entrepreneur (married or unmarried) the type who will hit on
colleagues, customers or vendors? That's a risk factor in today's
workplace.
If the answer is "yes" to any one of these questions I'd pass on
investing. If the answer is "no" to all three I'd still consider
investing.
