I am starting to find some arguments presented here ridiculous. Really!
"sharing knowledge" and "sharing your copy doesn't harm the person who gave
you the copy", yada yada yada.... You guys are forgetting that what we see in
the web are THOUSANDS of websites that "share" the latest hollywood piece of
crap, while making money from ads! That's not sharing knowledge! That's not
doing something good! That is "I want to watch movies without payin eheh, I
am smarter than them eheh, I have internet and in internet you don't need to
obey the law, and you don't need to think about morals, because its the
internet eheh, is not real life, eheh".
That line of thought disgusts me... -.-
You know what guys?? Go ahead and just reverse engineer Windows, change the
code and use it! Why use free software?? Free software also has to do with
respectign licenses, but you care ZEROOOOOO about licenses!
I know what the problem is... most people who support piracy, never used
their brains to create something new and make a living out of that. They
probably never used their brains anyway, let alone to create something new...
You pirate a book/movie/music/whatever, you harm the creators and the people
who run bussiness around that content. You care nothing about that. You care
about your own desires and luxuries.
You pirate a book/movie/music/whatever, you disobey the law. You care nothing
about that because for you "the law does not apply to the internet" or "the
internet does not belong to the police and the government".
You pirate a book/movie/music/whatever, you harm the people who create
Creative Commons and Public Domain content. You bring attention to the pirate
material, instead of the free content. You care nothing about freedom, you
care about whatever the hell you want and look at no means to get it!
If there is one thing that sickens me in the free software movement are the
people who think piracy is ok...... Either stupidity was born within them, or
they just are so selfish that they fail to recognize their own history.
