Straw fucking man. No one is arguing that those who pirate electronic files are “evil” what some are saying is they are wrong. Good and evil has nothing to do with it.
They are not wrong. As i said, filesharing is not wrong. It is a simple consquence of the system. Whether the word you use is 'wrong' or 'evil' is really just emotive bullshit. Much like your attitude.
Umm, no. Saying something is wrong is not in the same universe as saying something is evil. Even a dolt, such as you, can note the difference.
Take your abuse and go fuck yourself with it you sad little boy. Get a fucking life.
You have. Whether you intend to or not may be in question, but not whether you have one or not. Hell, you fall back on it in this very same response. You’ll see it again soon, the right to “exploit those who you think are exploiting others”.
Don't presume to tell me what I have said, pal, it will only serve to make you look even more fucking ignornant.
Your entire 'argument' is based around emotive bullshit. Calling what I said a mantra is shallow and pathetic and offers nothing, much like you.
I have every right to make any judgments I like. Much like I would judge harshly those who would say any number of activities are ok regardless if they themselves take part in them.
I couldn't give a fuck as to what you think you have the right to given how stupidly you've argued your case. Pretending you are able to make an informed judgment on things you know precisely fuck all about is the hallmark of the stupid.
Contradicting yourself in one paragraph is so unbecoming. Seriously, you should try harder.
Why 'should' I do anything? I haven't contradicted myself at all. I
was engaged in a grown up discussion about filesharing, but you seem to seek to drag it into the shit. There is no contradiction in that statement since I have never once on this thread advocated people download files of any kind. Again, get some reading skills. Learn the fucking language you are communicating in.
Taking what does not belong to you does not require the taking of a “physical” item. One can steal another’s car as easily as steal their intellectual property. You’re doing a jig to try and excuse the action you have taken up the cause for. You’re not doing a good job.
If you think that stealing cars is even remotely similar or 'easy' as downloading a file then you are a very special kind of stupid. Equating physical property to intellectual property is fatuous in the extreme. Again, as you seem incapable of grasping the reality of filesharing, you are not stealing anything. Nothing is being taken. Clearly you have no idea how the process works so before you blunder on with more clumsy hamfisted rhetoric, go and do some fucking research.
This isn't me 'taking up a cause'; this is me discussing a subject with someone who knows shit all about the subject matter and wishes to spread ignorance about it. People like you are the problem, not those who 'steal' files.
They are cheap. They are cheap to all but the most ineptly employed or non-working person.
The arrogance of this statement belies a complete lack of understanding of anything related to the subject. CD's are not intrinsically cheap, but they are cheap to manufacture as anyone with even half a fucking brain would know. Making assumptions about what other people can or can't afford in their country/environment is as stupid as it gets. Wake the fuck up.
PS: An items sell price is only partially determined by the cost of manufacture and there is nothing inherently wrong, or would you say “evil”, with making as much on a product as you can reasonably can even if multitudes of the manufacturing cost.
I'm well aware that there are more costs involved in the production of a cd than the manufacture of the disc. I'm also well aware that the vast majority of what the customer pays in the shop goes directly into the pockets of the industry and not to the artist. In other words, CD's are and have been for a very long time a considerable rip off. But you would seem to think that it's as acceptable to rip off the customer and the artist just as it's unacceptable to fileshare. I wonder then why people engage in filesharing!
You have a study or real data to refute it, or are you just making shit up again?
Um, the onus is on you to provide the facts as you made the assertion not me. Do you confuse yourself often like this?
You interjected them here. Are you really going to bring something up and then get all ass-hurt when some responds to it? Oh, and making copies of CDs and DVDs and “filesharing” them is nearly identical to “filesharing” rpgs. Are you completely oblivious to digital downloads for music and movies?
You're the one trying to equate filesharing with actual physical theft even though it's already been explained how it's not remotely similar.
Now take your sad attitude and your tired inept arguments and fuck off; I have no patience to deal with ignorant cunts like you.
