Sorry for replying to a post on the previous page.

Yes, they do actually. At least, you tube does, and that's Google. Also there is no law against profanity as long as proper warnings/restrictions are given, but there is a law against pirating.
Quote: "TPB doesn't violate any laws such as pedo porn or anything of the sort."
But they take a part in pirating ...? So what if they don't do 'pedo porn'? You don't have to break every law in the world to be a criminal, just one.
Quote: "You are just randomly looking for things to complain about"
Like the police who keep you safe are just looking to complain about murderers. Who keeps the companies who produce software safe? People who complain and get things changed.

It's illegal to sell cigarettes to a child. Sure, they might not want to smoke them, but the PURPOSE is to smoke them so you can't sell them to kids. It's the same here. You might not WANT to pirate anything, but that's what the pirate bay is specifically for.
Quote: "Why shouldn't it? Should they be allowed to sell me a half-***ed product?"
Of course they should. You don't have to buy it. It's not like it's affecting you in any way.

I kind of agree that Jeku's been a little insulting, but let's try to keep things mature here for goodness sake. Insults =/= an debate.
Quote: "I totally get that you won't listen to a word I say."
So far almost every word that's been said in this thread has been in reply to something someone's said.
Quote: "I can only hope that someday you will truly understand suffering as the rest of us do."
I'm so sympathetic. You have to PAY? For PRODUCTS? Jesus Christ, that must be awful!
Quote: "I really think it all comes down to simple empathy. Some people have it, some people don't. When I get sick of being stolen from, I steal from thieves and the undeserving."
So the companies who make the music/games/whatever are now thieves? Explain this logic. That makes no sense.
Quote: "you europeans who are acting like pompous little brats."
Racist prick. Ban this guy someone, for racism.
Quote: "Your land is in chaos, this will only make it worse,"
I could make a statement about how the recession wasn't OUR fault etc etc but I won't.
Quote: "and the real enemy, of which you and I are both perfectly aware of, goes unchecked.
"
Who's the 'real enemy'? Because pirates are my enemy at the moment.
Let me explain:
A) Good games are made, I am happy -> Good games are pirated -> Good games company goes bust -> I (And other people) have lost out.
B) Bad games are made, I don't take any notice -> Pirates pirate bad games -> Bad game company goes bust -> I still don't care
So in the long run, we lose out.
Quote: "See you in the streets, tough guy."
Who was claiming to be tough? I thought we were debating about the law, not who could hold their own in a fight.
Thank you
