Well, he's cool.  I'd be ok with it.

But seriously, people aren't arguing against what I have said, only against what they want to hear.

I have NOT said that people that mod their consoles for reasons other than piracy.

I have NOT advocated taking action against anyone in regards to ANYTHING other than their VGC membership.

I understand the logic in exempting piracy of old games etc.  What I am primarily concerned with is people saying things like "I downloaded Crysis cause it's cheaper" (yet you can still afford the PC to play it) and "I get all my Xbox 360 games for free from torrents."

These comments go completely against everything this site stands for.

As for those people trying to pretend I am making some broad statement about morality and getting high and mighty? 
Go join Greenpeace.

Come on. This is not a moralization site. This site isn't here to teach us what's right and what's wrong. The site doesn't "stand" for anything. It happens to be a site that focuses on tracking console and game sales, but also is a place to meet friends and many more things. I'm certain that my main reason to keep coming here is certainly not the weekly charts, that may be my third, fourth, but not the main one.

I can't see how saying "I downloaded Crysis because it's cheaper" (which I can do because I did, my dad wanted it) is going against what the site stands for. I consider that I can help the site in many more helpful ways than "not admitting that I pirate just to go with what the site stands for"
