Can we ban confessed pirates and modders?

I think most people here are talking about Downloading not Distributing.
Downloading is not copyright infringement if it's for personal use.

Well obviously the thread isn't about them.  They aren't technically doing something illegal.  Although, I do think they shouldn't discuss it.  I mean advocating people to go download something that is illegal does hurt the industry.  And people should feel a sort of guilt for doing that.  Not telling others to do it.

But for forums the discussion of how to download, distribute, and mod should be completely forbidden because it is against the law.  And proffessing to doing any of those should be an immediate perma ban.
