First off, if you can't afford 16 bucks for a fucking movie then don't resort to downloading it, yes, it's against the law, it's a violation of copywritten material and the fucking government needs to actually do something about it.
OH and the thing that kinda got me mad was when someone said "they don't deserve the money".
well, don't watch the movie that they put millions of dollars into and a bitch load of money into advertising the damn thing. And I do think they deserve to get some sort of profit in return. (despite how rich they are)

I knew you wouldn't like them, thats why I made a second plan... No I didn't.
I'm just pointing out that all reviewers have no idea what they are talking about and they are all very subjective. And while I'm fine with people being subjective reviewers should be objective. But that isn't going to happen.

Yes, why pay 16 dollars for a "fucking" movie? And, yes, some of us can't afford, won't pay, so what?

There are way too many stupid laws out there for that to be an argument.

So? Copyright is just another way of creating money out of thin air. It's like interest. You just put money in the bank and get interest but you only earned the money you initially put in the bank.

No, you are wrong there. They put a bitch amount of money into advertising, NLP (hypnosis), and special effects, and stars. How much money did they put into the actual MOVIE? Actual STORY? Or Characters? Or Directors? Like, $1,000,000, HOPEFULLY. They don't make movies for art they make movies for money, and while they continue to do that they will not get as rich as they hope.

They get more profit than they deserve, it is proven, look at the profits of Matrix and Transformers or w/e and don't talk to me about them being poor all of the sudden.

and i'm sorry that a law that prohibits stealing is a dumb law...
and for copy written material,they came up with the idea and yes they should make a profit out of it, despite how little or how much they make out of it, it's not up to some random person on the internet to say "lets go steal from them because they make to much money.
i'm not going to lie i hope you get cought pirating a movie =/ and yes it is possible.
so all in all for you to steal and saying they don't deserve money your a faggot, i hope i never have to play d2 w/ you all you will be is a fucking scammer.

That should've been clear by now. I like some action, but not those that the Hero dodge bullets, kill more than 3 people alone, save someone in the last second. Those films kinda annoy me. But if the action is good and fair, then I guess I could watch it.
I don't believe transformers is any of that, except of course, kill more than 3 people alone and a few other things. But its sci-fi action right? They're big huge transformers... what you expect?

I don't think you can do that. Unless you want to extinct the forums.
You are flaming because you have called undefined users faggots, dicks, and lazybones. It's funny because a big amount of downloaders and/or sharers are very busy people. Very smart people. A lot of programmers, a lot of administrators and etcetera. You have to check your sources before you randomly call half the intelligent community faggots and lazybones. Yes there are those kids (I don't want to point directly) who take piracy for granted and just dl anything in sight. You have to understand it's not all that way.
In any case, it's against forum rules, you don't need that to express your opinion.
Now, speaking of the stealing question. If I buy an ice cream, and give it to my friend, is it stealing? If my friend buys an ice cream, and gives it to me, is it stealing? No that's called sharing. Piracy is in between. The main issue with piracy is because it's based on the idea of internet and soft and therefore normal laws don't apply here. Copyright WILL die on the internet sooner or later, it can't survive in this environement due to the funky thing called "copy". You may call it whatever you want you may oppose it however you want it will stay will prevail and will destroy software copyright. It is pointless to blaim people for taking something that is OFFERED to them. It's not like someone is purposefully trying to steal it's just lying over there with no protection whatsoever.
You cannot make that comparison. Piracy is not stealing however you want to screw it. Especially considering how it become advertisement and a free distributer for indie companies.

I'm thankful to peole who bought a game and shared it with everybody, allowing me to look at it and think if I should perhaps go buy it or erase it off my hard drive.
People who sell what they have copied are a whole other story. In Russia, they are respected for other reasons. In America, I cannot respect them because that's just plain low.
Do not confuse copying and sharing with copying and selling.

That's understandable, but we can philosophise on that subject forever, so I suggest we cease that discussion. If it makes you happier, all things technical and judicial, piracy is wrong.

Ha! Most games are not worth buying it, and here is where people fool themselves. I mean I don't think any game is worth more than $50. Therefore, I'm saving myself, and spend with something else. And the games that are worth buying it, you don't even think to get on the internet, unless it's from amazon.com.

Well, it's easier to spend $5 for something then waste five days downloading something at 12kbps.

Everyone that download at least one progam, is actually selling it to yourself.

No one is earning money in the transactions so there is no selling or buying involved.

Pirating is when you buy one ice cream, then somehow duplicate it... Well ice cream doesn't work.
Personally, I pirate, d/l music and such. I don't think about the morals, I just kinda do it.
I've never been an iTunes user. Can't you only use a single audio format in iTunes? Or am I totally wrong on that one?
no im pretty sure that u can use different kinds of audio format, considering the fact that u can also store and watch movies on it. do you have a PC or a mac?

He who learns must suffer. And even in our sleep pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart, and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.
~Aeschylus :cool:
People that download games from the internet are unlikely to buy it. If you actually buy it, well then the whole pirate stuff does not apply to you. People usally say something like, "I'll buy if it's good". But once the game is finished they'll reply; "Great game, too bad I already played so there's no point on buying it now."; See what you did there?
In the other hand, games that you admire and are worth the money spent you'll be one of the first to buy it. Pirate it is not even in your mind. That's why people tend to say that games are not worth buying it, beacuse if they're, then there's no reason whatsoever to pirate it. (Yes, not enough money.. blah blah..)

No one is earning money in the transactions so there is no selling or buying involved.
Example: You walk in a store and you find what you're looking for, however your friend told you that he downloaded it from the internet last night. And you'll start thinking whether you spend this extra cash (Which you could save up for something else, like something you can't pirate.), or go with your friend and enjoy the same music for nothing. We humans tend to go for the easiest and costless side. Now, what could possible make you choose to buy it? It's not racional. Okay, you might not be earninng money but you're indeed saving it.
You're probably going to deny, and that you would buy the CD, no matter how stupid the choice is. But one thing I'm sure, that you're one of a few.
Yes... how about people that wouldn't even be buying it in the first place.. Well those people are the ones that should pirate but yet should shut up. It's not something to be proud of. And it doesn't make you look good either. I dislike people that think it's so cool and say something like; "LAWLS! I l33t! losers pay for games! LAWLZ!".

Do not confuse copying and sharing with copying and selling. That's understandable, but we can philosophise on that subject forever, so I suggest we cease that discussion. If it makes you happier, all things technical and judicial, piracy is wrong.
Well, it's easier to spend $5 for something then waste five days downloading something at 12kbps.
Everyone that download at least one progam, is actually selling it to yourself.
Well let's say you have a really big family? Is it wrong then?
Well let's say your family don't like bread. They like, uh, cigarettes.
Okay. Say instead of giving the cigarettes away, you sell them at a fraction of the prices which is practically like giving them away.

*shruggs* I'm not paying non-Russian sellers that's a principle.
No one is earning money in the transactions so there is no selling or buying involved.
Pirating is when you buy one ice cream, then somehow duplicate it... Well ice cream doesn't work.
Personally, I pirate, d/l music and such. I don't think about the morals, I just kinda do it.
no im pretty sure that u can use different kinds of audio format, considering the fact that u can also store and watch movies on it. do you have a PC or a mac?

People that download games from the internet are unlikely to buy it. If you actually buy it, well then the whole pirate stuff does not apply to you. People usally say something like, "I'll buy if it's good". But once the game is finished they'll reply; "Great game, too bad I already played so there's no point on buying it now."; See what you did there?
In the other hand, games that you admire and are worth the money spent you'll be one of the first to buy it. Pirate it is not even in your mind. That's why people tend to say that games are not worth buying it, beacuse if they're, then there's no reason whatsoever to pirate it. (Yes, not enough money.. blah blah..)
I'm lost on these conversation.
Example: You walk in a store and you find what you're looking for, however your friend told you that he downloaded it from the internet last night. And you'll start thinking whether you spend this extra cash (Which you could save up for something else, like something you can't pirate.), or go with your friend and enjoy the same music for nothing. We humans tend to go for the easiest and costless side. Now, what could possible make you choose to buy it? It's not racional. Okay, you might not be earninng money but you're indeed saving it.
You're probably going to deny, and that you would buy the CD, no matter how stupid the choice is. But one thing I'm sure, that you're one of a few.
Yes... how about people that wouldn't even be buying it in the first place.. Well those people are the ones that should pirate but yet should shut up. It's not something to be proud of. And it doesn't make you look good either. I dislike people that think it's so cool and say something like; "LAWLS! I l33t! losers pay for games! LAWLZ!".
