They are not illegally making a copy of my paper because they want to read it, or enjoy it, or exercise the social value of it. They are taking it for the specific purpose of getting other students in trouble.
I don't like the "IP" implications of this either. However, nobody is getting the students in trouble here other than the students themselves.
I think you ought to consider the source when making statements like this. Sure, CO2 is naturally occuring, but the excessive amounts that we've been producing are certainly *not* natural. Fossil fuels occur naturally in the earth's crust (for the time being, anyway). Does this mean that the recent oil spills off the coast of spain weren't really "ocean pollution?"
Hehe - you know you're talking to a physics major when they claim, in a serious vein, that.05 trillionths (?-.0000000000005) is a "huge range."
Huge is a matter of context. You should be thinking about this variation relative to the numbers that we are talking about in the first place. (.05x10^(-11))/(6.65x10^(-11))= 0.7% variation is pretty significant for a physical "constant."

There was also the flawed mirror in the Hubble telescope that led to difficulties in focusing. At least this expensive error was fixable.

It's time they take action against this wasteful, polluting dinosaur.
