Fuck pinball for neg repping me, but on to you cali.
I understand that piracy is not theft of the product, it is coping of the product.
What you are stealing are there profits by not buying there shit that they invested into, which is theft, and there is no way you can spin it that you are not stealing from them.
If you are ok with being able to have free media, that is fine, but when you steal from a company that has invested millions into a profit, you do nothing but help yourself out and do nothing but abuse the system.
I am all for free media via the internet, but the fact of the matter is, these are these people professions.
Piracy is theft, no matter what way you spin it, and if you approve of theft than ok, more power to you, I do not.
Piracy has probly done more hurt to the gaming industry, music industry and movie industry than anything else, in terms of them offering great content. In the last few years with the rise of piracy the quality of these products have not increased that much in my mind compared to previous times.
