If somebody pays for a service, then a third party disrupts the delivery of that service, what is the 3rd party guilty of?
Discussion
It depends on what the third party has, access and responsibilities to.
Are they part of the transaction or are they interlopers, people that are waiting to pounce on an opportunity? Those are two completely different things. If they are part of the transaction, they have a right to what direction the transaction takes.
Otherwise, they get to fuck off.
Being a government.
Ha like where your heads at. But in this hypothetical they are all private parties.
"Guilty" legally? Ethically?
"Disrupts the delivery" I mean if I take that literally, is that someone blocking the road between the FedEx truck and my doorstep? Then that's somewhere on the line between blocking the road and kidnapping...
Let's say you purchase tickets to a movie, but then a third party blocks your access to the movie theater.
I guess in most places of the world that would be illegal, and your recourse would be to call the cops... or if it happens on the grounds of the theater, it's the theater management's problem.
Do you think it constitutes a kind of theft?
I mean, not as such... In that specific example if you try to enter a space to which you have full right to enter and someone attempts to "block" you I would consider that something approaching either assault and/or imprisonment, i.e. kidnapping. Like, there must be some attempt at physical restraint involved in that scenario.
