What is your stance on piracy?

[XiaoMay]

First.I have NEVER said I knew about your country's legislation, only that in my own country it was considered as a crime.

Also, you contradict yourself : you said it is now considered as a crime by your law. meaning it DOES is a crime. And whether it's only a civil tort or not doesn't change it's nature, it's still illegal, isn't it ?

Secondly, OF COURSE, copyright infringement does not deny other people the use of something you stole. But doesnt it deny YOU the right to use (steal) it in the first place ? I don't see your point here.

Also, see the PSP's case : high sells for system and zero for software. That's, FOR SURE, is good for video games and gamers. Thanks.

Thirdly, the fact that you compare the right to use piracy to the right to marry black people or do blowjobs is laughable. We are not talking human rights here. Some people DID create these games : they DID protect it, and they DID wanted to SELL it. They are the one in who try to protect their right.

Yeah, there also used to be a time when piracy was legal. Of course, society evolved and now protect creators and creation. Lucky us.

 

If they wanted to give it to you, it would be free, wouldn't it ?

Moral is of course not white and black, but don't try to justify your own immorality. Just assume it.
