Torrent is not Synonymous with Piracy, Illegal or Crime. Go educate yourself.

torrents are to piracy as guns are to crime, torrents are great ways to distribute files but the fact is that most torrents are for piracy.

And yet nobody can provide hard numbers on this. It's always this broad statement that it comes down to; but there is absolutely no rock solid statistic that shows how many torrents contain illegal files compared to ones that do not. _____________________________________ Haruhiist since December 2008

yes because piracy is such a shady business, but you cannot say that there are not a large number of illegal torrents out there. how do pirates do their business then? sending flash drives/cards through snail mail?

I downloaded America's Army from torrent, it's a free game
and I think that anyone caught pirating things should have their hands cut off, mainly for the youtube vids of it

Edited by: Viktor Fyretracker on 28/11/2010 01:57:04 I am against anything like this, the government has no right to seize websites without full due legal process as long as the site is in the US.
Of course it does not work that way because here in the US the government is not "For the people by the people" but "For the Corporation by the Corporation" May as well license the name "Caldari State" and get it over with.
problem here in the US is people just sit down and accept what they are fed by the corporate system.

Speak for yourself there sport.
Most people are apathetic on such things if they are not directly inconvenienced by it.
There are plenty of people that are not. Just because you don't see WOLVERINES spray painted on the capital building doesn't mean we don't have plenty of citizens that dissent. From dope smokers that may not even realize what they are doing is ultimately patriotic, to organized political machines pursuing preservation of our rights to regular Joe's who just like to stick it to the man wherever convenient.
A wise old man told me once, (paraphrasing) "time moves very very slowly. Young men see a road of progress we could take, a constant pursuit of our ideals. Old men realize we are just on a carousel, things only get so different before we make the next revolution and start right back where we were before."
In the long run very little actually changes and this is a good thing. We may be on the dirtier side of the carousel ride but wait and see... the world keeps on turning.
People will sit down and accept what they are fed until they stand up and don't. All of this has happened before and will happen again.

Edited by: Crumplecorn on 28/11/2010 02:53:03 Is this this thing about the US turning off domain names? No harm - it'll hurt casual piracy but have no effect on the core. That'll reduce the attention given to piracy without doing any real harm.

what do you mean? that is what you are doing. by pirating something, you are taking it away form the owner without paying him/her anything.

Yeah yeah we've all heard these tiring and worn out excuses before. Its a copy therefore its not stealing. Its digital and not real therefore its ok. Blah blah blah. And everyone has their own reasons like being poor, or wanting to view it before purchasing an actual copy or whatever. But in the end you still gained something while the person(s) who created it gained nothing. I'm no saint here, I've done it myself a number of times now. The only difference is I know what I'm doing is wrong.

I gained something sure, he gained nothing? That can be debated. What can also be debated (Even if you come to the conclusion that he or she gained nothing) is if that is actually wrong, "not ok". I certainly don't believe so.

I know you don't believe so. Like I said, it helps you sleep at night.
Now since you brought it up, I would love it if you were to start this debate on what they gain when you make a copy of something like a cd or a movie without paying for it. I'll let you be pro-pirate here.

Sure, but then again with that logic pretty much everything does. I don't do a lot of things that I consider morally wrong.

It probably won't be worth the effort to go very far into the subject, considering the CCP policy on politics. But a simple example could be the pride that an artist feels when people enjoy their work.

Many artists allow free distribution of their works as they would like to just show it off and get recognition for it. Some offer their works for free but may ask for a donation if you enjoy it which is also ok. But what about for those who have a standard price for much of their work? Do they still enjoy the idea that somebody is viewing or using their goods even though they receive nothing in kind for their work?
