Software piracy

Isn't this like the 500th Piracy thread? Why not just search the forum find 1 of the other 500 and continue said debate there? This topic is starting to become a bit tiresome, Ufi says "Pirates Argggg bad people", Lycanthrope says "Failure herp derp" and so it goes. If you dont like pirating software, then dont. If you do, thank mweb :p

Obvious Troll is obvious :)

Agreed was never a fan of red, always found the color to be harsh and unforgiving.

And you still have no way to justify piracy.

How do you get through to someone who has already decided that "their" idea's are by far the only reasonable way of looking at the situation? Kind of like banging your head against a brick wall if you ask me...

But... okay :)

Also, Yoda was... greenish, so that counts.

If anyone can show me any justification for piracy I will gladly accept it. But nobody has. Ever.

If you close your eyes the monsters will go away, right?

As long as you are here I'll just keep on reminding you that you have no way to justify piracy. And that no amount of waffling will substitute justification.

Bought halo 1 from xlive and just couldn't download it without it being corrupted or recognizable as a game. In the end I got the pc ISO with a crack. So I pirated it because I had to.

Probably Steam, what with the Force and all, who needs a box? :p

If you were honestly that interested in understanding the pros and cons of it and that it's rarely the great evil it's made out to be, you would've done so. As has been said, there are countless threads on MyBroadband and MyGaming, many of which I've taken part in. We're all just tired of it now.

And you have a seriously disturbing infatuation with needing to wave around your fundamentalist views.

Piracy, in this context is the infringement of copyright. He infringed on copyright by downloading an illegally modified version of the software which was also illegitimately provided.

Simply put, he wouldn't have been able to do so without breaking copyright laws, and as such, being a pirate.
