Your 21 years old and telling on people. Shouldnt you be at the bar hanging out with girls or having the time of your life? Ohh thats right. NO. You sitting your arse down in front of the computer worrying about turning someone in for piracy. I have seriously out of the 1000's i know here at Drexel have never heard anyone worry about narcing on someone for pirating. They all have lives and couldnt give 2 sh*ts about something so lame. I suggest you pick up your arm, extent it, extent your middle finger and hit that little button that says power. Next get up walk to the door and GO OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What the hell does reporting somebody for selling pirated games have to do with having a life?

Jackass.

It proves that he is a whiny b!tch who has nothing better to do and can't mind his own damn business. You would have to be seriously brain damaged to think about messing up somebodys whole life for something that more than half of US population does.

yes I am talking about mp3's.

I'm not talking about mp3's, buddy. I'm talking about SELLING pirated games. Stay on the subject.

I think it's a valid point. The person that started this thread is obviously just a pathetic loser with low self esteem looking for a way to empower himself.

What do you base that on?
To think, psycologists need to spend hours analyzing a person to determine stuff like that and you were able to do it with only 3 short sentences! Wow.

Does it make you feel better when you criticize others?

I've done that. I've talked to him via email (since that is how he makes contact with most people he does this for). Words were exchanged and finally I told him that I would turn him in. He said I should do that. Of course this is the abridged version, but that's essentially what was said.

I think you've stated your case quite eloquently. I especially liked the part where your job creamed over whatever he does.

mp3's are illegal too. My initial assesment stands you are a loser if you get involved in this any further.

It doesn't have to ruin his life and it's not XZeroII's fault. The guy chose the path himself. (And more than half the population doesn't go out and sell mp3's.)

Hell, we're all human, we all make mistakes. I'll be the first to say that I haven't followed every law to the letter but I sure as hell don't have a problem with this guy turning in someone who's selling the pirated games. Enough of the wink wink, nudge nudge crap. Grow some balls and accept what you've set up for yourself. You litter, you accept that you can get caught and fined. This is far from a "Let he without sin cast the first stone". Rather, it's about collusion. We need not be an uber-paranoid society, turning in our family for thoughtcrime.

It's great to let sleeping dogs lie, but you do draw the line somewhere.

Sounds like a real smart ass. with little concern for the law.. Go for it then.

At first I thought this was a buddy who did'nt really know the implications of what he's doing... Remove both those elements makes telling a lot easier...

Took a few jumps to call him a pathetic loser. Thumbs down to your "argument".

I'm starting to think you're a teenager. You think you're all high and mighty for some reason and that you're always right. Who cares about your girlfriend? Do you need to tell us that for some reason (why?)? You don't care about someone selling pirated games, but you obviously care a great deal about someone turning him in??? You don't care about the world, you only care about your selfish self.

I am pretty amazing right? I see you didn't deny it either. Don't you think you are over reacting a little bit? The guy is selling games, not crack. How many mp3's have you downloaded in your life? Im sure you'll say none. How about your friends? Shouldn't you turn them in to? Because they are stealing from people also. Your miniscule brain does not seem to comprehend the similarities between downloading music and selling pirated games. Sure it's wrong, but do you need to turn everyone in that you know is doing it? No, you do not.

So, you think that instead of trying to help the world, I should go to the bar/get drunk? Are you messed up? You should seriously seek help if you actually believe that. Just because you hang out with losers who don't give 2 sh*ts about the world doesn't mean that everyone should be that way.

omg, you seriously think you're helping the world by turning in this person?! If you are really genuine about "helping the world", then you time is better spent with volunteer work at a local hospital or school. So please stop it with the I'm helping world crap.

You aren't helping the world by volunteering at a hospital, either! So I guess I should just sit here and not do anything, right?

if you don't see the difference between providing help in a hospital versus ratting a pirate out ... you're hopeless ...

Your miniscule brain doesn't comprehend the difference between downloading music and selling pirated games. There is a HUGE difference.

please tell me the HUGE difference.

By downloading, you're mearly stealing. In the other, you're profiting from another entity's work. An example would be if a friend would steal $20 from you every week. You knew it, but you decided that he needed it more than you and you let it slide. Then lets say that your friend was putting that money into the stock market and made $1,000,000. After making all that money, he just took off to some other country and never said another word to you.
In this case, it was ok for him to take $20. But you would get pretty ticked off if he made all that money and left you high and dry. That is the difference.
