Reporting Someone for Piracy

Wow I have to look for my password just to post in this thread.

Snitch :P

Sure piracy is piracy and it is stealing and is definitely illegal. Piracy isn't all that bad. Look at it as something to equalize the world. As what was said in a post above, no multimillion company deserves all those wealth for their products no matter how good they are as long as most of the world is starving.

In my country, the average working guy, given that he's part of the 30% of the population that's lucky enough to have a job, earns ~$50 a month. If he spends $1 a day for food, he has a total of $20 for rent, electricity bill, water bill etc.... How about his family? What would they eat? How would you expect someone living in this condition pay for a $60 game? Piracy is rampant here in our country, hell people even photocopy entire books. But honestly, I don't blame them, with the condition our country in, it's the only way we can keep up with the world. Our chauffer's children don't even know what a NES is until I gave him mine last year.

So my take on piracy? Piracy is bad of you have the capability to pay for something but opted to pirate because it is simply free. But for people who need to pirate just to get a taste of the present, I have to say it is justifiable. Don't get me wrong, I'm lucky to be part of the elites here in our country and lucky enough to afford luxuries, but sometimes you have to see the whole picture before making a stand on something.
