Software Piracy & Communism!

And, don't forget people... I repeat the same and lazy sentence. You should only download games, movies, music & programs which you already own because if you download anything else...

Your Souls will be burn in the fiery pits of Hell and be tormented for all of eternity!!!

No wait! There is Tile Coasters, Aprons and even Tote Bags!

Well, let's not kid ourselves. You are stealing something when you download a commercial piece of software, whether it's an mp3 or a game. People do it because it is easy, available, and "free." It would be hypocritical of me to put a moral judgement on the act, but we shouldn't delude ourselves.

One of the most stupid articles I've ever read on the internet is about how p2p downloading is a realization of the Marxist. So now it's morally right to do this, if you follow Marx. If you download illegal files, at least have the decency to admit it as such.

Abolishing copyright or otherwise making it irrelevant doesn't necessarily bring about any kind of communist system, because producers are still entitled to set the price of the first copy, which is their property. Without copyright they just aren't granted a monopoly on all copies.

If you download mp3s off bittorrent whilst waiting for the CDs you have purchased off ebay to arrive are you breaking the law?

I don't think so. I believe you would be in the clear, as long as you can show them your ebay generated reciept.

Far from it!

I've been using this quote (and its variations depending on the case...) since 2000 when I 1st started posting at retrogames & geoshock.

Back then the flame wars raged supreme so a nice catchy quote was needed!

Considering over 70% of the children in this country are without health insurance, what's wrong with a little Communisim?

Where did you get that number? The 2003 census figures show only 11.4% without health insurance: http://www.census.gov/prod/2004pubs/p60-226.pdf
