Rabbi Aryeh Lebowitz

I was told by one of the Dayanim in the Bezden this week that

that of Willig's approach toward intellectual property is Din Ad Malchusa, whatever the Din Ad Malchusa is.

So if Din Ad Malchusa is that you're not allowed to violate the terms and conditions, so then you're not allowed to violate the terms and conditions.

It's bound by a sense of Din Ad Malchusa, that that's the law of the land.

So I think, yeah, I think you are bound by it.

Question number nine.

How should a believer suggest one should decide halacha for themselves when encountering a disagreement within the Mishnah Brura?

First of all, it's important to realize 99% of halacha we all agree on.

So it's worthwhile to learn and you'll at least know what the issues are and you'll have the basic idea of what to do.

The second level is when you come across a machlokas, see what the minig olam is.

See what people do.

And if you see that people do one way or the other way, from people do one way or the other way.

So that's what you should follow, probably what the minig is.

If it's not clear what way the minig is, because it's a rare enough case that it's not subject to an obvious observation of the minig,

So that's what you have Rebbeim for.

You ask a Rebbe, and when you become a Rebbe, you look around in Svarim, and even when you become a Rebbe, you still have Rebbeim, but to the extent that a person no longer has Rebbeim.

So you look around, and you try to figure out what each sheath is based on, and you try to figure out what...

What makes the most sense?

Okay, question number 10.

Why are mashpits not chukas ha-gayim?
