You ask: "If someone was to hack mota then decide they liked it thus they buy it does that make the act of piracy legal?"
No. But is Thomas hacking or modifying what he receives, making it into a full version? Obviously not.

Whether you intend to buy a given product after illegally accessing it or not isn't the question. If someone was to hack mota then decide they liked it thus they buy it does that make the act of piracy legal? On the radio you are legally aloud to listen to the music or productions broadcast. The company to whom these said music and or productions belong to get listening time and also revenue for allowing their works to be legally broadcast. I'm sorry but your argument is flawed. Completely flawed. It doesn't matter your reasoning for pirating some graphic novel. The point is you've done it whilst upholding the list guidelines which expressly forbids piracy on this list of any kind. Whether it be the discussion of there of or actual links to sites where piracy is actively encouraged. If you were a normal list member then I personally wouldn't care I would just think of this as hypocritical actions if you decided to openly criticise people who knowingly pirate software and the like yet you do it yourself. But you aren't. not only are you a list moderator, you are also the owner of your own company who has yourself been warned by another company with regards to piracy of their game. I'm sorry Thomas, do the honourable thing and save face. You can't justify this. I'm sorry but you can't. --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.
