TET: Slow down before we run out of posts again!!

[DesAnges]

criminals would be the technical term.

i am no fan of the current system, but you change it by laws, not by theft.

And yet people call governments criminals for shutting down sites like The Pirate Bay.

If you're not going to pay for it, you simply don't get to use it. You wouldn't go into a store, claim a 72" screen television to be open-source and leave with it without expecting consequences.

You too?

It's just so frustrating sometimes. I love science but I could never get good grades in science classes.

Well I'm a lazy fuck. Lack of motivation is my bane.

Such harshness!

Up until 4am, then sleeping until gone 2 in the afternoon. It's a luxury.

The way that guy literally looked directly at the camera gave me chills. Eep.

It's actually just a very clever advert.

Up until 10:30am, sleeping till 5:30pm. It's a workday.

They count every pirated copy as a lost sale, but that is not the case.
It is not lost sale if the person did not intend to buy it in the first place.

Statistically speaking, more sales occur due to pirating and no company has ever went under due to it.
Pirating has done nothing but help the economy, but these businesses still attack it.

They attack it because they know it will make it stronger, as it always has.
The more the corporations try to stop us from doing something, the more we do it.

Breaking Bad is a good example. The director thanks pirating for getting the show so popular.

And to add to your statement, I can't make a copy of that tv. I can make a copy of a .mp4 or any other media type.
Stealing is taking something from someone, not making a copy of it.

But do your research before claiming that pirating is bad. It has only helped businesses so far.

You can try and justify theft all you want.

So, you're saying that if pirating was not available people would not purchase these films, tv shows and music albums?

Pirating is a very christian practice. Jesus wasn't stealing bread when he started making more, was he?

I'd rather pay though.

He didn't steal. He asked someone to lend over a bread and someone mutually agreed to his proposal.

Some would, but most wouldn't. Pirating is wrong, but it's not theft.

That bread was shared with consent by the owner of said bread.

Using the bible to discuss ownership. This is getting silly.
