No he isn't. Far from it. Dear god, might as well ban the internet because it allows piracy, oh wait it didn't as there was piracy before then, it just gave it another medium to do so. Seriously you people need to grow up and smell the roses that just because you can do things that you weren't able to do before hand doesn't mean that it should be stopped because everyone who uses it isn't going to use it to make candy for the good little boys and girls. If you can't stand the fact there is two sides to every coin you might as well disconnect your internet, put yourself into a bubble, and "protect" yourself from the truth that even if smells nice, it has thorns.

What? If what you do opens the doorway to something illegal why do it plain and simple. LOL grow up? im not the one sitting in a dimly lit room hacking peoples consoles and then asking the console maufacturers for a job a week later. Also your analogy at the end wasnt really required.


The point is courts themselves have ruled such activity legit but not matter what the will always be people who will use something to further more darker ends, piracy exploded when the internet took off they knew it was a possible side effect but do you see companies taking ISPs to court in the same fashion as this? No, why? Because the internet itself is not the sole cause of piracy it's just a medium pirates decide to employ to further their own ends, you can't blame the medium which is why many cases have fallen apart, that's the point both of them are trying to put through, it's not as black and white as people think.

I understand all that but without the internet piracy would be an afterthought. I just feel that if what you do can lead to people losing alot of money why do it and if you do you really dont care. but aye some people dont wanna pay for stuff.

No it wouldn't as piracy has always existed. There is still a blackmarket of physical media. All starting back with Tape cassettes and VHS. Its was so easy to record a TV show onto a blank VHS, copy a VHS tape to another, copy music from the radio, copy music from cassette to cassette.

Piracy, theft, its human nature.

I was refering to gaming.
