- Comparing retarded racial and sexual matters with a simple thing called property is a little off the scale..
On very important thing *not* to forget: The production of "information" representing property spread through different forms of (digital) media is not something that comes for free. People demand quality, people demand entertainment; and someone has to invest time and resources and thus get paid to do it. The only solution to keep this up is to protect and sell the property; your local bakery doesn't supply your daily bread for free either. It's essentially the same thing. - isokadded on the 2004-01-20 18:12:08

- "ffs no mather if it's moraly "wrong" or not piracy is Not stealing. if i copy your software you dont loose it do you?"
According to (inter)national laws, copying software that, in it's unmodified form, is (intellectual) property of a developer violates various laws; the same goes for the modification of such software. Information is a subjective term; and your freedom stops at the moment it violates someone else's.
All that aside, i'm not blind and I don't judge people who copy all kinds of (digital) media all that hard; it's just that I can't stand those who will claim that it is correct and morally sound behavior: it simply is *not*. Besides all that, pricks writing lousy installers, ripping CD/DVD images, coding mediocre presentations and in general spreading property that ain't theirs don't deserve any respect at all. A stick in the face would be all they should get.

- Quote:
Should I give my son electric chair if I found him with a pirated copy of windows ?
In a civilized society, nobody gets his ass thrown against the back of such a chair. Next to that, the comparison to rapists and murderers was made purely to emphasize the fact that some things are of a persistent nature, as opposed to cultural phenomena. Now I advise *you* to actually *read* and *understand* prior to reacting.
The whole idea is that people always get pissed off and will engage in "discussions" like these, which is the whole point in fueling the fire, as it were.

- it can all be summed up to one single line: BREAKING THE LAW IS NOT COOL; and *that* is my point :)
*fuels the fire* !

- i'm nowhere near xbox-only ;)
but all that crap aside, i'm against any form of piracy; kids think leeching movies, music and games these days is 'just plain normal' - even parents condone it like it hasn't got anything to do with being a criminal offense. oh sure, the old "warez scene" was probably a cosy bunch of hippies alltogether, but that doesn't make the actual act less wrong.
and don't start giving crap like 'a demoscener should be able to use 3DSMAX for free' please.. -> realise it, you do NOT have the right. simple as that. "but we're not making profit" -> indirectly you are. i'll have to pay for my food too you know.

- dip: *your* story is not everybody else's story. i'm not saying that pirating software is near comparable to rapism and murder by the way (allthough i wholeheartedly enjoyed insinuating it as such :)).

- indeed gargaj, but that aside..
yeah.. a lot of cultures appeared and vanished over the years.. RAPISTS and MURDERERS didn't. gives you something to think about.
