Anfebious said: I am not justifying it, I'm just showing him a reason why people do it and another way to look at the problem. I played pirates games when I was kid without even realizing it. When I had the money I started contributing to the industry but it's just too difficult sometimes. It doesn't help that Argentina has ridiculous taxes. If you guys even saw the amount of money we have to give on taxes you might start to understand our point of view. It's all about different points of view, I still think pirating games is completely wrong but it's something that happens a lot over here, and I completely understand the people who do it. |
I don't mean to pick on you Anfebious. My second comment was directed at the thread.
I also don't mean to diminish the financial situation of those less fortunate than myself. But I'm very protective of the intellectual rights of others. To pour one's time, energy, and money into a game, only to have it stolen, copied, and distributed for free across the internet is completley unacceptable.
