This thread smells of some hypocrisy too...
Shall I let the hypocrites into a secret.......
It doesn't matter two hoots if a book/game/video/music or software is pirated. Because in the end.....someone has to pay to get it. Either by sucking leccy from the grid, Paying Taxes, Eating bandwidth, paying the mob......somebody gets paid, and in the end rich people end up with most of it and everyone else can swing.
I might not be the author...owner or person who came up with the idea. It may not be fair, but life isn't fair. There are no morals beyond your own self esteem. Whinge as much as you like as other humans on the whole are inherently selfish and no amount of moaning helps. People will Pirate/Steal bread from babies mouths if conditions are right.
H.G Wells had it about right in The Shape of Things to Come. Pity his ego couldn't see the wood from the trees later on tho....Personally Aldous Huxley also was about right too and I'm reasonably sure "Colonel George Taylor" is going to be right soon or later !.
Endth the 41yrs lesson of life so far......and arn't I a miserable sod
I need a chill pill
