""But but but your sig and avartar are pirated!""

Yes because pirated images are exactly the same as taking a 60 million dollar product, putting it on bittorent and not paying a cent.  When most images here are actually publicy released by the developer for free mass distrubtion.

Yep totally the same argument. 

 

 


Doesn't matter if its not the same. Its being half assed in morality of piracy.

Those who pirate avatar and sigs simply has no right to bash on pirates when they are pirating themselves.

 

Dumping hazardous waste in a river or taking a piss at the bus station differ yes, but both are crimes.  You can't talk shit about company dumping hazardous waste to ruin the environment when you, yourself are dumping chemical from chemistry projects  down your sink and taking pisses on the streets.

Talking abot trying to justify it! LOL you know the two don't compare, you're clutching at straws big time.

I wish we took a stronger stance against game pirates here, like banning them all. They go without any punishement .. heck even one of our MODS is a proud pirate ... disgusting, doesn't deserve to play video games.

We used to do this - BengaBenga was particularly ruthless on this front - and I don't mind it as an idea. That's no excuse for headlines and articles perverting the dialogue, or people perpetuating ass-backwards sound bites (CARL).

Again: all for banning people who brag about their piracy. That's fine. But we should be clear and distinct that we're talking about copyright infringement and not theft.

Oh man, when I was mod, I was constantly wanting to ban people that admitted to pirating.  If ioi would have let me I would have an absolute blast in this thread and hand out permabans with no remorse what-so-ever.  I don't really understand why pirates come to a forum dedicated to the thing they're actively trying to destroy anyways.

Yeah, they have absoloutely no shame. It does make you wonder what kind of people they are in real life, they must have no conscience.

Can you say that out loud without laughing abit? It sounds like a joke!

Very easily, it's very telling of a persons personality if they're a theif and proud of it.

Yes, but despite the same mod that pirates also happen to be a great guy (if we are thinking about the same pirating mod), so where's that theory lead you?

I'm not a big pirate myself. The only thing I download are Japanese PS2 and PSP games. Its not something that I'd flaunt, but I guess I'm 'proud' to play K-ON and Tales of Versus. I guess you can hate on me too.

So says you, you're obviously going to stick up for your friend so your word means zilch. Someone that admits to stealing all their games quite proudly isn't a "nice guy" in my book.

And same goes to you.  Stealing images but thinking yourselves as superior pirates?

 

pirates are pirates, mate.

Using an image from a show or whatever = fair use.

Downloading a game without paying for it = piracy.

They're a little different, try again.

It's hilarious what justification they come up with.

Everyone starts using Halo images as avatars and sigs = Halo devs out of business?

Everyone pirates Halo = Halo devs out of business.

LOL, stop trying to justify your piracy.

 

piracy are piracy regardless if developers are losing money or not.  ONLY when the developers publicly stated the pictures are distributable and copyable or they lose out on their copyrights to the images then you are able to justify it.  Until then, no, you have no rights to bash on pirates.

 

And welcome aboard mate.

I don't pirate so I don't need to justify anything, if you want to be cheap and steal things you can. I can't physically buy a youtube video or image on the internet, so it isn't stealing.

Do you pirate? if so are you proud and do you condone it?
