Shrug stealing is stealing, if yo usee someone going around walmart taking things and putting them in their pcket, do you not feel obligated to notify someone? I think we need a better sense of community in this country, we should all say that committing a crime is wrong and that we will stand up against it.

Why not just have a talk with him...
Along the lines... "man you realise IF someone narks you out your credit will be ruined because of civli suits and you might never get a job again because of crimminal record"
Then go on about why it's immoral and theft if you want...

SEriously. Why ruin someone's life just so you feel satisfied. Its not like he killed a man and this is just a phase. He'll prolly get tired of it and quit himself

Smoking marijuana is illegal. Let's rat out every single person who does.

You are naive and brainwashed.

while you're at it, why dont' you go and tell on all those people in chinatown selling pirated material ... sheesh, some people just have too much time on their hands ...
I despise narqs. Unless they're doing something that endangers other people, move on with your life. Oh no, he's stealing from the richest person on earth. You want a pat on the back or something? You have nothing to gain, and some broken bones to lose if you are discovered, which if you do in fact narq, i hope you are found out.

1. Get busted on his own. And, how does that happen? A fairy comes down and whispers to the authorities that he's doing this?
2. I don't litter. People who litter are scumbags.
3. Always wear my seatbelt.
(note: I skipped the jaywalking thing... I rarely walk where I need to cross streets)
4. I don't like paying higher prices for games and things because (a.) these a$$es are making money selling them illegally. (b.) They get away with it for a long time because pricks like you only look out for yourselves and not what's best for the rest of society.
Why do you feel you owe Microsoft a favor? What have they ever done to you besides limit your desktop OS choices, charge you more and more per year for software updating, and force you to ask their permission to install their software after you pay for it? You are a dumb corporate tool - something MS would love to see all their customers be.
Perhaps if they were ripping off a company I genuinely like because it genuinely likes the customer, I would feel obligated to report the pirate. However, reporting him requires you to go out of your way for Microsoft when Microsoft has never gone out of their way for you.
Fvck Microsoft. I'll never get off my ass to help them unless they show some intent to help me first. But, every time I buy their software, I feel I'm being forcibly ripped off. And, every time I buy their software, I usually find the pirated copy to be easier to install (no calling) and easier to work with (can easily make copies).

FFactory: There's a HUGE difference between:
illegally copying games for your own use
and
copying games and selling them

LOL. You thinik I'm naive and brainwashed because of this? LOL
I see police pass up crimes all the time. Why do that? Because they PICK THEIR BATTLES. What a moron you are if you actually think that if I want to do one good thing for society that I must be Mr Perfect.
Have you ever done anything good in your life? Yes? RUN FOR THE HILLS! If you do ONE good thing, you MUST do all good things.
What a crappy person you are if you criticize someone for doing the right thing and trying to help society. All of you. I try to help the world and you people crap on me for it. You people are scum. The lowest form of life on this planet. I spit on you. Next time one of you comes up with a sob story about how your girlfriend left you, I'll get a warm feeling inside because you got exactly what you deserved.
You don't have to be a perfect person yourself to try to make the world a better place. You people make me sick.

Ufortunatly if you turn him in 3 other people will take his place in selling software. Our how system is bassed on you breaking the lay. Take the war on drugs for instance. If no one did drugs there wouldn't be a war on drugs which means the people that are hoping thoes few people will be out of a job.
The officials always complain that there is a war on something but the truth be told if there were not people selling stuff like that, doing drugs, speeding, not wearing their seat belts, not having insurance, companies not running with a license, and so on and so on our ways of life would fall. They expect people to break the law and do what they are not supposed to to keep the ball running. If the wanted to I'm sure they have a huge list somewhere on EVERYONE and what they have done. they just break it up to who can they nab thats going to be more profitable. Sure they pick on the little guy at times but jsut to set a point and have others take his place to keep the ball running.
So sure you can rat him out becuase your friend cut you off from mooching free software off him or what ever you would want to rat out a "friend" for, but you narking on him isnt going to make the problem go away. Someone will most definatly take his place and the government needs that to keep going on and on like that. It all comes down to people making money and the government making their money off taxes and the people breaking the law.
And btw you did open the can of worms on yourself by opening this thread so you cant take to heart what all people have to say. Its called welcome to the USA where everyone has an opinion just like you do.
