How many of the people that call these guys thieves in these threads...which undoubtedly they are...use their paid for service to steal copious amounts of content from newsgroups & torrents sites etc?
Regardless of ones Copyright beliefs it`s still illegal to download Copyright is it not?
It`s completely Trollish to come boasting about it here on CF for sure but mabey some of those taking the bait need to think twice before responding the way they do in these types of thread. 
Or do the two not compare in some peoples eyes?? |
Quite a few of us actually...As I regard both as theft.
I'm more upset by copyright theft though(which I've been told repeatedly is NOT a crime) than by people with battered,chipped,fried or otherwise fixed hardware attempting to gain something for nothing(note I didn't say it's stealing).However just because 'everyone' is doing it doesn't make it right,moral and if it's ever actually made a crime well I hope they enjoy their day in court...
