I doubt I'd be a very "fun" owner if one was dropped to earth. Simply put, for all of my ranting about militarism, and using violence to solve problems, I tend to make such arguementson a societal level. I don't think that it's a good thing for one person to play god.
I haven't seen the entire Anime series (but I've seen a bit of it) so I can't answer a lot of the detailed questions/scenarios other people have come up with, but the bottom line is that I have no illusions about being a strong, good, or incredibly moral person. I don't think I'd trust myself to make use of it.
What's more, if your dealing with an item like this that is tied to demonic forces, that would be a physical, demonstratable proof of an afterlife, the wicked being punished, and so on. I'm in a dubious enough position as it is morality wise, without mystically killing people. Even if I somehow took over the world and gained everything, when it's time for me to go where am I liable to wind up? Whether it's a western hell, or a Japanese one, eternal torment is eternal torment, and there really isn't anything worth that. I suppose the most worthwhile aspect of being offered a Death Note, would be to find redemption through rejecting it/refusing to use it.
It's sort of like another Anime series called "Hell Girl" (of which I've only seen a few episodes). Sure, you can summon the demon to kill anyone, but you wind up just as badly off as the person you send it after, so what's the point? But then again I kind of figured that was the whole idea behind that series.

I'd test the thing first.... Then find some rich person who'd be willing to put me in their will... *Manic laugh*
i'd probably kill a few that i deem deserving and hope that my conscience could handle it
either that or be too scared and save it
i wonder if i could mess with someone by throwing my replica out an apartment window hehe

Actually, I would give it to you!
the deathnote's effects only work for up to 23 days. If your name is in the book for longer than that than you will die.TheMaddestHatter said:
Again, I've already answered this. It's a spoiler for the series, go back to one of my spoiler'd posts. If you haven't watched the whole thing, don't lecture me on the rules.Kashif Omer said:
I may be sick but I'd be too tempted to use it.
Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Osama Bin Laden (Might as well make it ironic: An unmanned drone's navigation fails and crushes him, killing him instantly), Kim Jong Il, and a few more people the world would really not miss.
