Film makers send out demands for 2500 dollars for downloading movies..

I think it's kind of silly to use your VIP powers to delete a post you made when you have a second thought.

Starscream May 31, 2010 08:09AM

Second thought? It was to enforce my standpoint, but decided to delete and post later when I had more time. (n/t)

Cerunnir(VIP) May 31, 2010 08:22AM

I didn't get to read it.

Starscream May 31, 2010 08:24AM

Being an admin on a site has some advantages, this is one of them. (n/t)

Cerunnir(VIP) May 31, 2010 02:21PM

Why do they need laws to protect people, when they can do it themselves by NOT STEALING?

Java May 31, 2010 07:51AM

It's not stealing. Its copyright infringement.

Industries who don't play fair don't get any pity from me when their captive market figures out a way to fight back.

bell June 01, 2010 06:20AM

You don't have to give them your pity. You just have to give them your money, when you get caught. nt

Java June 03, 2010 02:17AM

It's copying, not stealing.

PaulO May 31, 2010 04:05PM

The proper name for it is not stealing (n/t)

cenatar May 31, 2010 12:22PM

I disagree with this assessment

vortexmagus May 31, 2010 08:51AM

Nothing you say changes the fact that downloading movies illegally is illegal.

Java June 01, 2010 05:43AM

Well, if you regard U.S. law as an absolute instead of a heuristic, this is true.

vortexmagus June 01, 2010 08:45AM

US law specifically gives the military an exception to such policies.

Java June 02, 2010 04:20AM

Difference is that the fine is set by a private company.

Cerunnir(VIP) June 02, 2010 06:50AM

It's civil court.

The Forsaken(VIP) June 02, 2010 09:55AM

Speeding/jaywalking/etc do not deprive someone of a livelihood.

The Forsaken(VIP) June 01, 2010 08:55AM

Thats a bad argument though

vortexmagus June 01, 2010 12:33PM

Your argument is even worse. Sorry?

The Forsaken(VIP) June 01, 2010 12:59PM

I am?

Cerunnir(VIP) June 02, 2010 04:10AM

Oh ok.

The Forsaken(VIP) June 02, 2010 04:53AM

Well I am sort of.

Cerunnir(VIP) June 02, 2010 05:10AM

I'm with Forsaken and Java on this one.

I don't know. iTunes seems pretty successful. NT

briartangle May 31, 2010 12:23PM

I agree with both you and Vortex. + a specific suggestion.

Cerunnir(VIP) May 31, 2010 01:04PM

Nice post. nt

istirith May 31, 2010 12:00PM

I agree with this.

agraemas May 31, 2010 09:02AM

Right. Don't steal and there isn't a problem.

The Forsaken(VIP) May 31, 2010 08:35AM

Right. Don't deal drugs and it isn't a problem.

Flipside Oreo June 01, 2010 01:35AM

Whatever you call it, it's illegal. There are consequences for breaking the law. You realize this. nt

Java June 01, 2010 05:40AM

I think, Java, more people would agree with you if you conceded 'if you don't like the law, the onus is on you to convince the lawmaking bodies to change it, not break it and pay fines'.

Scrimbul June 02, 2010 05:18PM

What he said. nt

Java June 07, 2010 01:08AM

Whatever helps you sleep at night.

The Forsaken(VIP) June 01, 2010 05:29AM

I wouldn't lose any sleep over that.
