As I said, stupidity on parade.
Nice to have something to laugh at, though, as much as it makes
intelligent conversation impossible, eh?

David here is worse than the other one. How do these people get
online?

And you are wrong. Intellectual property theft is a completely
different issue with different factors, definitions, and impacts than other
types of theft. That's the fact here. You can say that they are both wrong
and I wouldn't disagree with you, but the fact remains that ideas--intellectual
property--are much different than things--"regular" property.

Course they're not wrong - Japanese eat whale ***, there's a
Frenchman who eats insects. The only thing that's wrong is to project
one's own standards onto another culture and then judge them by it.
Nowt to do with piracy though....

There's something seriously wrong with us, too, it seems..
Just an observation.

As a lifelong musician and former punk rocker, I can't say that pouring
money into the music industry does anything positive, but I do essentially
agree with you.

Maybe. But, I think those people that pirated the games wouldn't even
buy them if there was no alternative. If you really like a game then
you need a manual and the patches that are guaranteed to follow. You
get none of that with a pirated game. The amount of money they say
they lost is based on *if* those people actually bought the software
they pirated. The fact is they wouldn't buy the software so the
actuall loss is probably a lot lower than their convoluted figures.
