• There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.

    If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.

    Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

Walk the plank

What a bunch of self-involved idiots. What will they have to "share" should everyone simply quit producing?
 
They have been very smug for quite some time, their website is not actually breaking any rules that I can think of and they are making a shed load of money through advertising and merchandise off those idiots who do break the law.

The case to me does ask where the morality is and I hope they realise it's just another self-destructive false economy.

Shame they're still so smug.

That's really the worst part. I know some pirates personally (not mentioning any names because I know some are members here) who are so proud of what they do its scary. I don't see how stealing makes people feel good about themselves. It's #$*&'ed up though. My generation and the newest one have almost no morals.
 
Well put Francois!


Stealing is stealing is stealing is stealing... Bottom line.

If they would download stolen software, they would steal a DVD out of Walmart if they knew they could get away with it....

Morals. Without them, what are you? What is the next step in your life? Where will you be in 10 years...?


There is some new technologies coming out that is pretty cool to combat piracy. Embedded codes that can phone home and report who has what, which is cross compared on a database with purchasers. This in turn is submitted regularly to the FBI and Interpol. Also, the usual model deforming systems if the package isnt right, doesnt self-check properly. (This model will self destruct).


If they can pirate away like crazy, then its time to either stop making models or come up with bullet proof technologies to seal up thieves..


Goodness.. Its as much as getting your car wash, or a box of beer or a DVD movie!
