No! Stealing games is bad!

But why is the Rum gone?

 

[blackheart]

It depends on if I'm doing the pirating or being pirated.

 

[Truronian]

I see someone else has gone for the 'piracy = compying DVD/music' approach

Would you steal a handbag? NO!
Would you steal a house? NO!
THEN WHY ARE YOU STEALING FILMS???!!

I was always impressed by the girl on that advert, she found a site that downloaded films to your PC in under a minute!

 

[Plexus]

DON'T COPY THAT FLOPPY!

 

[PrinceOfLeigh]

I can't believe people are pointing out the incorrectness of supporting piracy...

Seconded Great Wisdon doth they hath

Because it requires no physical effort. To got out burglaring means you're up half the bloody night. Even if you decide to do a bit of breaking & entering you still have to hang about waiting for everyone to leave.

Stealing an actual house takes an enormous amount of effort. Possibly a crane too.

Shame you didn't press home the advantage and go on to conquer a third of the world. France should have had Sweden's help at Trafalgar rather than trusting those pesky Spanish.

 

[Chukchi Husky]

Britain didn't conquer a third of the world.

The whole post was intended to lighthearted, but congrats, you've joined my list of Pedants.

What's Pedants?

 

[7ronin]

What's Pedants?

A pedant is someone who nitpicks minor or unimportant errors in other people's posts (often to show off).

 

[Chukchi Husky]

I'm sorry.

*steals MjM's games*

YARRR! That should teach ye land blubbin scurvy vermin!

 

[diablodelmar]

first time i saw that was on a ripped DVD

Oh the irony!

lmao, just like once I was watching a pirated copy of "National Treasure" every so often these massive bold words would appear on the screen saying "Copyright protected, do not reproduce this material etc". That was so ironic to the point of hilarity.

Copyright theft denies expected profits to the creators of the works. If you don't think that the actors/directors/etc. deserve to be paid for their work, then don't watch it.

It's still theft.

Agreed. I reported my local video store for renting out home view only DVDs.
