I make computer games for a living, you're ripping me off, I completely disagree with you.
I'm not on millions of pounds, I'm on a solid salary. Just because my industry is successful, why should I have you *steal* from me? You obviously want my product, so the "I wouldn't have bought it anyway" argument is defunct, the only reason you wouldn't have bought it is because you can't afford it.
I can't afford a Hayabusa, does that mean I can just *take* it?
And where Bill Gates is concerned, the Bill and Melinda Gate foundation is wiping out TB, sorting out Africa and feeding people worldwide, they are the biggest charity in the world. Rich cunt? Not in my eyes.
I know people pirate software and music, and I understand their reasons, but it pisses me off when people try and make some sort of legal justification for it as if it's they're god given right.
You're stealing, it's wrong, you'll carry on doing it, no-one really cares except the people getting ripped off... the world will keep revolving. ____________________ Last bike - 2004 CBR 125 - Gone but not forgotten

I just download because it's easy. Speak to daz, bearshare or torrents (dont like them much though) i used to download alot, all of the main tv programs like 24, smalliville, lost etc but cba anymore.
I'm sure if a hayabusa was as easy to take as an mp3 from bearshare then alot more people would be doing it. |

Stealing from you would be mugging you or stealing your bike. Downloading a game that I'd not have bought (because of not wanting it) isn't stealing from anyone, no one's lost a penny. |
I'm sorry man, but I disagree here being on the receiving end. I've spent 5 years working in my company, working on the Project Gotham Racing series amoung other things. When I've put my heart and soul into a game, I expect people who want the game to buy it and people who don't want to game to either not buy it or take it back if they're unhappy.
Consumer law protects people if they don't like one of my products, they can take it back if they're bored of it.
And no, stealing doesn't just mean the physical removing of an object, it also amounts to stealing intellectual property. My whole life rests on that intellectual property being sold, otherwise I can't ride, rent a house, or even eat. It's how I make money.
If people take my IP without paying me, it's stealing. Fact. The law regonises it as such for this reason.
I'd just like to add here, I know a lot of people who pirate, and a lot of friends who do too. I overlook this as they are my friends, but I won't take part and I won't kid myself or let them kid themselves that they are doing anything legal. It's wrong, but I accept it.

Please stop thinking so big of yourself .I would most likely have no interest in anything you have done. |
PS: HerbalDayZ - your immature attitude towards argument does you no favours - by attempting to make it seem like I was trying to 'big myself up' you're getting this totally the wrong way.
We're discussing piracy. You're a pirate. I'm a software creator. Do you not think it right that both sides have a say in this? By repeatedly discarding my views as wrong without actually providing any data (as you seem to do in all your arguments) you're just spooling the same crap over and over again.
Come back with some intelligent argument without the insulting manner and you'll probably get a better response. ____________________ Last bike - 2004 CBR 125 - Gone but not forgotten
