Lets not kid ourselves here...just because its virtual/digital doesn't mean its not theft...someone is illegally distributing intellectual property/copyrights material for others to enjoy...

lol I agree with you and yes I have pirated microsoft's shit and I could care less because they're a colossal **** up and a vulture. I've spent enough money on them (and still do but slowly moving to Mac now). The thread started out with these Indy companies (up starts it seems
) trying to make a head-way into this business. Kinda shitty that pirating is preventing new entrants into the industry who are probably more creative than the existing incumbents/fuckups....I have a soft spot for the little guy what can I say...
Nuff said. Hypocrisy at it's finest.
You've shown absolutely no proof that piracy has caused any company to go out of business.(once again, piracy is not the same as stealing a physical items{or credit card numbers or bank accounts yada yada[it's dumb that I even have to elaborate on that]}.) Also, I've heard of several companies using piracy to their advantage. Example: 50 cent, who is now one of the riches rappers alive, said if they're stealing your stuff, you know you're doing it right, and it spread his music to the mainstream. That in turn helped him become as successful as he is today.
Yet again, you've shown you know very little about the issues, yet you seem so confident at handing out your opinion as fact.
In BuDo's world, thou shalt not let friends borrow video game without sending royalties to developer.
