  1. Homework Assignment by GuNgA-DiN · · Score: 0, Troll

    Everyone's homework assignment for tonight is to download some PS2 games from their favorite P2P network. We should all band-together to offer a nice, friendly, "Fuck You!" to Sony.

    Sounds good.

    Its about time the rampant piracy and theivery was put to a stop. What you people do not seem to understand is that organizations like the RIAA and MPAA are fighting to protect the hard work of those they represent. When you download an MP3 or copy a DVD, you are stealing - just like if you stuffed a CD under your shirt and walked out of the store.

    You are taking food off the table of hardworking professionals who are trying to feed their families and pay the bills. You all should be thrown in jail.

    Just get the major record labels to sue Microsoft and it's employees for music copyright infringement. How could you not share music at work using an outstanding multimedia enabled OS like Windows XP?
