I rejoice when I hear stories like this...another fucking thief caught!

I'm waiting for these kinds of things to be moved from civil offenses to criminal offenses...and carry felony charges.

Stealing is stealing.

You want someone who downloads an mp3 to be convicted as a felon? 😕
 
Do you REALLY think this is about d/l'ing an MP3 file?

(Remember, the line between misdemeanor theft and felony theft is usually the $$ amount involved...stealing one song is peanuts. Stealing a movie is...ummm...at least $9.99) 😀

If you save a copyrighted picture on the Internet onto your computer, you have committed a crime.

Pay for your PC games! It's not that hard to find everyting on Amazon or eBay are a reasonable price. I've gotten all of these legally that way. As you can imagine, I despise people who steal from the developers who made all these great games.

Sorry, I'm not fucking rich like you.

:roll:
 
Call and ask who made the complaint and what it is your being accused of violating the rights against.

Sometimes its not even anything you downloaded.
I got one for "the wicker man", I had to go to google to even find out what the hell that was .

:Q

Where do you find the money and more importantly how do you have time to play all of them?

I see Final Fantasy VII on there. Good man.

Yeah AFAIK the admins are the only ones who are in trouble. They haven't started coming after members yet. I hope :shiftyeyes;

Maybe its time to get a usenet subscription 😉

Where's the best place to get one?

Usenet is just a private tracker for BT. That's all he meant.

No I think he just misspelled uTorrent which is an excellent bitorrent program

All I'm saying is that he can obviously afford all those games, so he can get the fuck off his high horse about despising people who steal.

And what give me the permision to steal?

Easy.

I'm fucking God. We have a very healthy relationship.

:roll:

I'm done trying to justify anything. Go read the piracy threads for my view on it.

But you're rich enough for the computer in your signature? 😕

Yes. When I manage to save up $1k, it goes into a computer. The last computer I built was in early 2002. That's five (5) years I spent putting a little money away each month to save for a computer.

 
Anyone else get the Janes Addiction song stuck in their head after reading this topic?

You're done justifying because you CAN'T justify it. Sorry. Stealing is stealing.

You seem to have an entitlement sense. You are not entitled to video games or downloadable media.

Let me put it in terms you can understand.

If you download a game and you are a millionaire you stole it.

If you download a game and you are a broke SOB you stole it.

There is NO difference.
