pirating videogames and other copyright theft helps degrade the GPL and other FOSS licences
a small price to pay for a $20 computer game?
you shouldn't use unfree software, but you definitely shouldn't copy it without permission onto your hard drive through the internet.

Who says that a simple pattern of 1's and 0's are "copyrighted" content. If you can't copyright the way that words are arranged you shouldn't be able to copyright the way binary data is arranged
>pirating
Do not use that word to describe copying files, as it has nothing in common with killing and pillaging on the high seas.
Expect in the fact that it gets you tons of booty
just to be clear, your logic applies to copyleft as well?
the negative connotation is intentional

Sir Francis Drake bought the tittle of a lord with the tons of gold he pillaged from Spanish galleons.
Todays equivalent would be if you hijacked a billion dollar tanker filled with billion dollars worth of oil while murdering all of its crew.
Copying some files of a song that was aired on thousands TV and radio stations, and that is available to listen too on jewtube has nothing in common with piracy.
Let us see a document of your rights to use that image. Or are you degrading the GPL and other FOSS licenses? Are you?
software takes millions of dollars and man hours to produce
thats my girlfiend she told me i can use it
>girl
Only in your head user, clearly a Y chromosome somewhere on that
take that back
umm u clearly have a extra chromosome IDIOT never post in my thread again
Very convincing trap though, would bang
>thats my girlfiend she told me i can use it
Although calling this utter BS, I cannot stop laughing:
twitter.com
>you can't copyright the way that words are arranged
Then how does books have those "all rights reserved"?
>software takes millions of dollars and man hours to produce
FALSE
Cause they have the right to suck my cock
woah edgy
I guess you forfeight all right to your personal data and metadata then stupid
I will stop pirating when the paid service is easier and more user-friendly than just clicking a magnet link and going to town. If big sheckles cannot compete with that, it is not my problem. I am just being a good consumer and getting the best deal.
whatcha gonna do bout it ya land lubber?
>expecting a serious reply from a bait thread
Shiggy diggy my niggy
moron
haha
you don't realize that you are bringing about your own destruction and strengthening of the capitalist system through pirating
Threads like these makes me wanna host my own pirating website.
Mods are asleep post feet
is this the new desktop thread?
nooo stoppp
why are you pretending to be me?
i have the pride to never reply into retarded posts but ill make an exception just to say this
>Supporting sharing of information that, in turn, undermines current industry practices and fosters a "free" culture
What the fuck are you smoking? If anything, that is supporting socialism, which is also shit, but at least get your shitposting straight, friend. The only way this could possibly be helping capitalism is that it is pushing companies to provide a better service than piracy, which is a good thing. What the fuck is the point you are trying to make?
not her, but I think you're the imposter here
Do it. Help bring down shitty pajeet cucks like PTP and Apooloo. Those fuckers need to die in the fires of private tracker hell.
Rin a cute
> muh virtues fag preaches to fucking Sup Forums of all places
why
just why
utter retard
copyright theft of VIDEO GAMES is the ultimate expression of consumerist culture. What does the capitalist do when deprived of capital? loot in order to aspire to the dreams of capitalism.
Come back to me when you're digitally seizing the means of production.
oh wait you dont have to, emacs and gcc is already free
omfg lad keep the sh*t pol b8 on pol
Australians everyone
I wish I were a loli

same
nice Photoshop
If anyone uses the word, should or if, they are clearly on a losing argument. The only argument that wins is money. When someone has found a way to make money from something they invented or created then they are going to protect that using the law to sue those who have stolen their creations under the terms and conditions of its use. There is nothing which says you MUST own a copy of this game or this software. It is not mandatory to own any copyable item. Therefore, those who cannot afford to own it must better their situation in order to buy it. Those who pirate software are thieves and that is all, they are just cheap crooks. Those who copy it to sell are even worse they are cheap crooks who havent even got the balls to call themselves a cheap crook, and what is more they are intellectually stunted to believe their crappy arguments, designed to make people believe it is some kind of moral crusade, are actually seen as anything but laughable. Those who cannot afford the price of software can do one of two things. They can realise they are thieves and stop doing it until they can afford to buy it, or they can continue and risk being taken to court and gaining a criminal record. It's that simple.
there are no arguments for infringing copyright since there is no legal obligation to own the software. Infringing copyright is pure greed and theft. It's that simple. There is nothing moral about copyright infringement since there is no compulsory obligation to own anything you cannot afford to buy legally.
Degrading the GPL? What shit are you on?
imagine writing this
btw im not going to read it ever
didn't read
nevermind you're cool
use paragraphs
>Who says that a simple pattern of 1's and 0's are "copyrighted" content
Depends on your country. U.S. Copyright Office, for example.
>If you can't copyright the way that words are arranged you shouldn't be able to copyright the way binary data is arranged
You can.
Looking pretty good I'll make sure to upvote that on r/Sup Forums later
>how does rampant disrespect and breaking of copyright laws damage a copyright law construct
hmmm
If I can pirate the game for free or buy it, in which both of them will give me the same product, why would I choose to pay?
Unless you live on the "land of the free".
A lot of people pirate games when they simply cost too much for their value. Lord GabeN figured it out and made millions by selling good games for cheap prices. Making a digital copy of software is not the same as building a car: you have almost zero production costs per unit to cover.
But when you see something like Minecraft still sold at over 20 dead presidents in 2017, that's ridiculous.
What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you proprietary slave? I’ll have you know I graduated top of my class at Harvard, and I’ve been involved in numerous free software projects, and I have contributed to over 300 core-utils for GNU. I am skilled in Lisp and I’m St. IGNU-cius, saint of the Church of Emacs. You are nothing to me but just another unethical non-free software advocate. I will distribute the fuck out of your source code with freedom the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit about me and the GPL on the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my colleagues at FSF and your binaries are being reversed engineered right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your copyright. You're fucking dead, kid. Free software can be anywhere, anytime, and it can ensure your freedom in over four ways, and that’s just with the GPLv2. Not only am I extensively skilled at hacking, but I have access to the source of the entire GNU userland and core-utils and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable proprietary code off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what ethical retribution your little “clever” program was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have ensured your users' freedom. But you couldn’t, you didn’t, and now you’re paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit free as in freedom all over you and you will drown in it. You’r
...
You have no idea what you're talking about.
no u
Holy shit proprietary fags BTFO!
Check those digits!
Didn't EU already prove piracy has no effect on sales ?
3dpd gtfo
...
it isn't about the effect on sales, this is about freedom and ethics
it's not piracy until you sell the content you downloaded.
Godly digits good sir
copyrights aren't technology
try playing star trek online
you will then see just how much money those who arent poor will pay to play a decent game.
A star ship will cost you near on $50 thats without any epic weaponry. For a top grade starship and top grade ground crews fully kitted out with the most expensive and epic stuff
youre looking at some people prepared to pay thousands of dollars a year.
You can play for free but it is grind grind grind for several years to get anything epic.
great game to play for free but if you want everything then be prepared to pay many thousands of $$$$$$$$$
technology copyrights are
truly capitalism is a tragedy
aren't
Is this a digits thread now?
Anyone who isn't an autistic NEET and plays actual games once in a while instead of shitty pay2wins doesn't want to spend that much.
...
It isnt pay to win
It's pay to reach the top tier
of craft and weaponry
Well don't just stop there.
I think you may be retarded
if you want to discuss feeet please make a new thread
Yet another reason to install Linux.
if you want to discuss capitalism and copyrights make a thread on pol
TFW you are a poorfuck who cant afford to buy anything
In other words
