Let he who has never sinned cast the first stone

Give me a fuckin break! You do whatever you want, i could really give two shits. The problem is you are encouraging other people to do it. Do you see anybody else on this forum doing that or agreeing with you for that matter?

Take your self righteous ass in hand and shove your head right back up it Merlot.

I wouldn't patronise anyone on here by directly implying that they cannot think for themselves in the way that you have implied, and that somehow anything that I said would lead them to carry out some dirty deed or another.

I don't think that downloading hooky software from the internet is some new phenomenon of which internet users here or anywhere else are unaware of either. Nor do I believe that anyone who participates in this forum has never ever infringed upon copywright violations of some sort, especially through the utilisation of the WWW.

Your replying further with any adverse emotional projection directed towards myself will leave me with no choice but to hunt you down and cut your little balls off and give them to a Spanish dancer to place between their castanets as they dance the fandango.

Aside from such, do take it easy and enjoy the remainder of your weekend.

But there are some (well at least one) here who for various reasons maintains a very clean house (clean enough to 'cast stones') and would be quite happy to see promotion of warez/piracy etc come under legal incitement to commit and crime and/or conspiracy to commit crimelaw, and be punishable with similar jail terms.

Dont do it, Drammy may also chime in to say that promotion of piracy/warez maybe outside of AUP for this forum.

Basically some of us do earn a living from software and/or media production. Promotion of piracy undermines that living.

All software I have at present is legit, I like it that way and appreciate having a fully working licensed copy of which I can obtain support if need be form the manufacturer. Though I wont say that I have never infringed upon copywright in certain ways before. I have downloaded MP3's and the odd movie here and there. Also, I do myself earn from media production and have witnessed a lot of people ripping off my stuff thorughout the years.

Though if I had a say in wether any one of these people were to go to jail or not then I would say NO, as in this digital day and age it's pretty much the unavoidable nature of things and often a double edged sword too, which can both serve to promote as well as undermine any artistic or engineering endevours.

Perhaps a new thread for this age ol debate?

LOL - maybe - but it tends to end up in flame wars usually :)

LOL! Another internet Gangster! That is seriously funny (I am seriously laughing! :lol:

Anyways, why not give credit where credit is due and pay for it?

Quite a talent you have there to laugh whilst serious. Schizophrenia? Your response is better this time, thank you, the first one sucked as i'm sure you realise.

Everyone is free to do whatever they like, whenever they like. I see no sense in adopting anything similar to an "Oh ah, your bad, I'm going to tell the teacher on you" attitude. Though I do support ones right to responsible action if they are directly affected and feel the urge to do something about it.

If people want to download cracked software, MP3's or anything else as such then its their call, if not then thats their call too. Nothing anyone says is going to change their mind, unless they are sheep like and are unable to think for themselves.

Its more up to the industry to finance the research into the sorting out of any issues, and so pressure or complaint should be directed towards them.

Thats said, and in the forum context here, I run a forum myself and operate a non copywright violation policy with regards to content and the sharing of files and such. But I wouldn't stop people from talking about anything related to it even if they were the worlds number 1 application cracker. I don't attempt to employ such levels of control over other people, as that in itself is further futility in action.

'ole!

nvisibl: I personally think it's very important to educate people regarding software piracy. Most people just don't realize how bad it is for the industry.
