What is your stance on piracy?

If you want to make fun of other posters for supposedly being young and uneducated, you might want to fix your spelling, capitalization, punctuation, and grammar first. It's not exactly helping you out there.

Also, mind-rape.

Sorry guy. I was not making fun of anybody, just saying that we are not in the same period of our lives, meaning we don't have the same vision about money.

But if your only argument is attacking your Interlocutor's English, it's vain. I am not an english native speaker and I speak fluently japanese, german, french and chinese. For notice.

You know what, one of my friends was actually charged by the RIAA for piracy (she is a college girl who was using Limewire in the dorms) and she got a $3000 settlement. Hell, that would be a small price to pay for all the songs I have downloaded and DVD's I have copied. Those are definitely worth $3000 to me. Yet I didn't have to pay for ANY of them. Life is great isn't it!

The RIAA has their thumbs up their asses when it comes to piracy. The amount of piracy that goes unchecked in this country is insane. The only effective solution to piracy is offering the same services for a small fee, like Itunes, coupled with the average person's fear of doing something illegal based on anecdotal reports, etc. of things happening to others.

I see. So you prefer to pay the settlement then to follow the law. That's your decision, not mine. But I respect your "choice".

And sorry about your friend. Mine had this kind of troubles too
