The Pirate Bay files charges against media companies

Piracy is wrong by the pure definition of the word. If you have to sugarcoat what you do to feel better about yourself, and pretend you aren't doing anything wrong, that's pretty pathetic. Otherwise just admit you are breaking the law and move on. If you feel bad because of it, stop pirating. If you don't, well, keep doing it until you get caught.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I didn't say a single thing about morality in this. Lots of things can be right and immoral, or wrong and moral. Right and wrong are simply legalistic terms. If it was legal in a country to practice cannibalism, would that make it moral?

But according to
piracy - Definitions from Dictionary.com
it's illegal.

It's not actually that hard of a concept if you really take the time to think about it.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

I am NOT getting into a definition war in a thread about media piracy on GamingForce.

I've said what I want to say, if you want to bitch about definitions, feel free, but I'm not going to take part in that. That wasn't the point of my original post in here.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

I didn't bring it up. Pangalin did.

But if you really want me to:

2. the unauthorized reproduction or use of a copyrighted book, recording, television program, patented invention, trademarked product, etc.: The record industry is beset with piracy.

You don't read very well, you know that?

I was speaking idiomatically.

Well, pangalin did want to know what dictionary I got my definition from. I didn't technically get it from there, since I thought the definition of piracy was pretty much common knowledge, but I thought it best to get it from somewhere halfway authoritative.

EDIT: Damn. Just got into a definition war =/.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You people are fucking stupid. But I suppose I'm even worse for feeding the trolls.

FELIPE NO

Moralistic. Notice how I attached the adjective "fucking" before it. That implies the concept of adultery, which everyone knows, is a moral gray area. At least in America.

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a winner.

Look at the Crusades. A perfect example of legalistic stupidity which evolved into a continuing moralistic stupidity spurred on by stupid idealistic fools.

Moral stupidity always ends up enveloping, replacing, and/or superseding legal stupidity.

It seems the legal system starts it, and the moral system takes over.

I'm glad I'm not listening to myself talk anymore because if I was, I'd be going insane right now.

The apple is wrong, bring on the pear.

Well, in America it's okay anymore. I meant in other, more sane countries, it's very much frowned upon.

Ah yes, but this falls under the morally stupid mess we were talking about earlier.

How ya doing, buddy?

Hasn't that been entirely & exactly what most of the past page has been?
