Ah, that would explain it. Are you a member of Consolespot?



Thank you!

I'll try my best.

Oh, and I'm mostly active on the Consolespot.net forums, Geeks!, and The Beastboy and Raven Shrine (TBRS). Oh, also a little place called PSPMod every now and then.

You might have just seen my shameless self advertisement around places, though.

Why would someone argue piracy? It's completely pointless. I pirate software, and I believe it's wrong to do so without strict guidelines. It's wrong to steal things when you can simply pay for them. I, however, am a software enthusiast and am in a financial bind, being a minor with parents who have average income jobs. It doesn't justify the fact that I'm obtaining software that can be bought without paying; but the difference between most pirates and myself is that I actually give my thoughts on the software all over the internet. One way or another, in a good or bad opinion, other people are learning of the software and therefore going to check it out for themselves. So the developers gain from it in at least one respect. Piracy, in my opinion, is wrong unless you have absolutely no other way to obtain the software and if you still benefit the developers.

I'm not bothered by The Pirate Bay boys getting busted. They were cocky and flamboyant in their piracy, so they got in trouble. I don't see why you would so openly advertise the fact that you're hosting a piracy supporting website, sharing illegally obtained material, and acting as if you're proud of it? You might as well ask to be arrested...
