I own over 70 games that I payed for at the least.
So even though I occasionaly download a game, I contribute more to the industry than you do.
And don’t go giving me that ‘But your downloaded games compensate for your bought games’ crap. Because copies don’t have any value.
Now stop basing your arguments on a post which was made on the first page, read the rest of the topic and get back to me.
piracy is not stealing, its a lot more complicated then that, if you can fully explain intellectual property in relation to piracy. I will accept otherwise
Something that wasn’t their but is now because you downloaded it is the equivlant of going into a car park and stealing an invisible ferraia, please please please explain how that makes sense?
taking a picture of the mona lisa doesn’t mean you now have the mona lisa. However, you can hang the picture in your living room for much the same effect. It doesn’t mean you STOLE the mona lisa.

You cannot say “this is the facts! this is how it is!” without providing any kind of evidence or proof, and then get bitchy when we tell you the opposite, especially when we’re actually providing more supporting arguments than you are.

Maybe it is copyright infringement. But that still isn’t stealing.
It’s still copyright infringement and that doesn’t make it better.
I didn’t reference it being better or worse ( whatever the hell that means )
I just stated there is a difference.
I mainly use torrents to replace my games that I’ve lost in some way.
Hey, I already paid for it. Why not. 
Well, the creator of that particular work DID die almost 500 years ago…

Either way, it’s video of Weird Al’s “Don’t Download This Song”.
Are we on topic? Are we contributing to the topic?
I thought we were. Downloading songs is a form of copyright infringement and something you could do, until recently, via Mininova.
alrighty then. carry on then.
(knows nuthin of mininova)
mininova wasn’t even really that good. had lots of viruses. demonoid is much better.
