Quote from: EnderWolf1013 on August 13, 2015, 06:51:05 PMSome laws are more enforced than others, and I've rarely scene anti-piracy enforced. The only time I see anti-piracy is on DvDs where it tells you what would happen if you did it.I'm just not one for this whole "it's not illegal if you can get away with it" philosophy.

If we're being monitored than yes, you would get into a lot of trouble for it.
But you won't, though. It's hardly something worth caring about.
But you will though. Plenty of people have been fined for it. Yes most people won't but people have been.
And it's worth caring about if you made product that's being pirated. It's still a crime that can and should be enforced.
The amount of people that have been busted for pirating is so incredibly small that it's not even worth taking note of, like, at all.You won't get in any kind of trouble for pirating something because it isn't worth it and it isn't really even harming anyone.
It isn't like theft at all either. You aren't taking anything from anyone.
If I made a product and it got pirated it wouldn't matter for 2 reasons. 1) Someone pirates it, likes it, then buys it.
2) Someone pirates it, doesn't like it, and doesn't buy it just like they weren't going to anyway if piracy wasn't a thing.
You can be Mr. Justice all you want, but it isn't going to change the fact that you aren't going to get into trouble for pirating, and that nobody cares enough to enforce whilst there's real crimes being commited every day like murder and rape.
But people have. And people still will. It's not harming anyone but it's still stealing
It's theft.
It is theft though
That doesn't justify pirating it in the first place.
and yeah everyone definitely buys it after finding they like it. Totes.
You can deny it all you want but pirating is still theft and illegal and people guilty of it should still be punished.
also LOL just because pirating and stealing isn't as terrible or heinous as murder and rape we should just ignore it? Man that's a terrible and absolute stupid thing to say.
Anyone who claims that they have never pirated anything is a liar

I'm not sure how people still think making an unlicensed copy is not tantamount to theft when it comes to intellectual property.

your internet provider knows what you do online and can report you, but they don't because nobody actually really cares if you pirate something and because your provider would be losing out.

I would.If someone pirated a movie I filmed?I'd want their head on a fucking spike.
Please direct me to where I said otherwise. Oh wait.
Spoiler
Please direct me to where I said it does. Oh wait.

Never said everyone. Don't put words in my mouth.
1) Someone pirates it, likes it, then buys it
Well yeah, because it's 100% true, nor is it stupid.
It's absolutely an unimportant "crime" and not worth the resources it'd take to enforce it, because it's literally a non-issue and those resources can be spent on things that're worth it.
Imagine it;"Hello 911, there's someone at my door trying to get in and has a weapon""Sorry ma'am, all of our on duty officers are engaged and are currently arresting some punk kids for downloading Friday by Rebecca Black".Headlines later that day: "Woman killed in brutal home invasion, Police arrive too late".
If you're trying to make out that you've never pirated anything, then that's complete and utter bullshit and you know it and you're just playing this whole " oh look at me mr goody two shoes" act.
How many songs have you listened to on YouTube that weren't officially uploaded? Someone call the Police! This guy has listened to an illegally uploaded song on YouTube! He deserves to be punished!
What are you trying to say here? That just because it makes a copy it isn't theft?
QuoteWell yeah, because it's 100% true, nor is it stupid. Just take a second to think about that sentiment. "Just because it's not as important we should ignore it."It is really stupid when you think about it.
So than what are you trying to say with this? It seems like trying to justify it to me.QuoteNever said everyone. Don't put words in my mouth.
So than why did you say this? Quote1) Someone pirates it, likes it, then buys it You make it out to seem that if everyone likes it, they buy it.
Just take a second to think about that sentiment. "Just because it's not as important we should ignore it."
>still a crime and theft>still should be punishable
man i don't think you know how law enforcement works
i never said I didn't. "Don't put words into my mouth"
>still theft>still should be punishable
Do you have eyes? Use them
Literally how is that justification?
I haven't said it should be ignored. I said it's literally at the bottom of the list of important things that need dealing with because it's such a non-crime
lmao shut up
Man, i wasn't being serious. Pretty obvious.
I think you might be legitimately stupid.
If you still, in this day and age, think that Snowden is a traitor...
