Imagine what it would do to our credibility if we allowed the discussion of how to obtain services without a subscription. A lot of hard work would go down the drain overnight.

I've said this before and I'll say it again. If VM needed our help in tracking these people down I'm sure they would have already asked us. But no such approach for information has been made by any company or individual.
Because at the end of the day its down to money and resources. There are forums out there openly which discuss these issues wouldn't they have approached them? Its purely for educational purposes only!VM can't do nothing.

I know they're both bad, but are they equally bad? And you have not yet answered whether or not this moral outrage of yours extends to people you know with illegal MP3s on their iPods.
Your taking something I said totally out of context. I said stealing is equally wrong no matter what you steal. Im talking about the word as in what it means, meaning its not ok to steal a bar of chocolate because its so small and less expensive that what a car is.

That's completely irrelevant to the discussion at hand, in terms of what the police might or might not find a worthwhile use of their time, and it still doesn't address my iPod question, the answer to which, I would imagine, would somewhat undermine your point, or certainly betray a double standard. I cannot imagine you don't know someone who hasn't downloaded illegal MP3s, probably close friends or family even, but surely you wouldn't take such a black-and-white Judge Dredd-ish approach to their indiscretions, if it doesn't directly affect you?

That would probably be a mistake, if you actually read what my point here is.

For me, it has to be done. It proves the point that they are totally selfish and dont care unless it affects them. But I get your point and wont do it again.

Ive already stated, there is an open thread on this forum where I have been talking about illegal MP3's. But now that I have supplied you with an answer to my stealing analogy, it now becomes irrelevant? I dont see how, stealing cable is wrong and against he law. Stealing anything is wrong and against the law.

Wouldnt you lose your no claims bonus? Can I sleep with your wife/GF/sister/mom at the same time? Hey, its free isnt it?

I'm not the one who started bringing up people family into this, it was the above post. Seems like he is still at school bringing up peoples mum and that. I use to cuss peoples mum when I was at school. Grow up now.

It got the right reaction I was hoping for, maybe I shouldnt have done it, but it shows you up for the person you are.
