Being held accountable for what you did in the past ......

What did everyone do in the past that is illegal now ?

e.g. it was commonplace for unruly children to be smacked - illegal in some places now but should the parents of 50 year olds be prosecuted for it ?

What could YOU be done for retrospectively ?

With relation to things which are now not legal but were at the time, I believe it is neither necessary or useful to be retrospectively prosecuted/punished.

However, there are many actions throughout our life’s for which we should hold ourselves accountable, most of which are legal but not necessarily moral.

I had some of my best song collections taped from the radio. It was quite exciting making sure you were ready to pause at just the right second!

I wouldn't disagree but I asked about legalities not moralities which are two very different things...

I see no point in retrospective punishment for something that was not illegal at the time it was carried out ...

I used the first part of my reply to answer your question ( regarding parents being prosecuted for smacking their now grownup children).

I used the second part, and deliberately kept it separate, in an attempt, futile it would seem, to expand the topic of accountability

Yes but did the tape ever jam and you had to carefully get it out then wind back on with a pencil...... lost skill

Back in the day when cars had 8 track stereos tapes. I had a recorder that I could tape over Jim Reeves and put what songs I wanted on the tape.

Did that too, trying to pause the tape between songs and hoping the 90 tape didn't cut out in the middle of a good song.

Then we were blessed with napster and limewire to download

Also wiring 2 video recorders together to copy the rented videos
