"Again, it's wrong, but if you don't understand the difference then we're going to continue to get really shitty laws like DMCA, proposed laws like INDUCE, and insane sentences where someone convicted of pirating a bunch of songs or games winds up behind bars for longer than a rapist. Who do you think is really a bigger threat to society?"
When this discussion started out, and when I joined it, we were at the point where we were simply debating if downloading the game without paying for it was WRONG. Guess I made the mistake of using the term "stealing". What bothers me is when all these 'its not stealing...yes it is..no it isnt..its copyright infringement" gets started...all the pirates jump in with the "yeah right...I'm not stealing" and go with that. It sucks that to get a point across here you have to speak in freaking Latin lawyer terms and have a PhD in whatever the F you guys went to school for while I didn't.
That aside, I never said I supported the RIAA/MPAA, whatever. And I definitely don't support death senences or life terms for small-time pirates while rapists walk out of jail sooner.
Oh F this...this is ridiculous.
Whatever....I'm an idiot for thinking that downloading the game is stealing. Go figure. Society is doomed because of my morally correct, yet technically wrong view of what stealing is and isnt.
Have fun trashing me and bitching what a bunch of jerks iD is for not releasing a demo.
Forums suck and are the coolest thing at the same time.
I'm done rambling.
I hate people.
Have a good day.
God bless.
