Can we cut the false contradiction crap? It's unoriginal, not at all clever, and really makes you look like an idiot. Slashdot is not a hive mind, not one giant entity of one thought, but instead made up of many people with many varying opinions. IF you can't even get that right, including anyone who makes similar statements to that I've replied to, it will be hard to take said posters seriously.
All he said is that it is copyright infringement at best. Saying crime a [or civil tort a] != crime b is not saying crime a is ok. I'd defer to my book on discrete mathematics to demonstrate the fallacy in this specific statement. As to your second act - illegal yes - but only criminal past a certain point before which it squarely remains a civil issue.
I don't need to write anything down to see how retarded this post is.
THERE IS NO HIVE MIND!

LOTS OF DIFFERENT PEOPLE POSTING THEIR OPINIONS.

To claim hypocrisy when you're taking different pinions, and making some hoopla about how/. is contradictory, when it is different people in these threads posting different individual opinions, well, there is no word to describe how dumb that is. Get off your high horse, read up on basic logic, basic lingual skills pertaining to debate.
Honestly, they are creating shades of gray *derp* because maybe THERE ARE to them? Ever think of that? Just because you don't agree with them doesn't mean others are wrong for not subscribing to your smugly placed ideas, you know.
The inheent problem [in fact, IMO, the ONLY problem] with your argument is putting it into the scope of [work X] being copyrighted or not.
THE ILLEGALITY IS BASED ON PERMISSIONS OR LACK THEREOF, not IN OF ITSELF whether a work is copyrighted. Copyrigt infringement is based largely on permissions or lack thereof, for example.
The business model may suck royally - making a demo that last's 5 minutes, and forcing you to download tons of GB of data even if you are just trying the game - seriously [though the IDEA of download it all, if you like it, just register and you have the full version is a good one] - but the sim, from what I've heard and seen, is incredible - I would hate for this to fuck all that up.
Actually, the thing is the example DOES provide it, the problem is too many people butcher the shit out of the quote and leave the important points in the example out, and as a result all we have is a discombobulated mess.
Well, aside from the fact that no stealing is involved - proven by many logically sound assertions, can you prove pirates are to blame for this mess of DRM, and not the companies that overreact, and implement buggy, half-assed and overbearing restrictions?
No. Breaking DRM should not be illegal. If we have a product and want to make a copy, so long as we don't share it illegally, that's our natural and logical right. They have no control over what we do in our homes, so to criminalize that they have no control over s beyond stupid, as is you inane and retarded rambling.
Who cares? I care, people who believe in the notion that not everything is everybody's business care. Privacy matters to us, if you don't understand that, that's your thing, don't make it our problem.
The only lag I ever experienced: Sonic 1, Labyrinth Zone, badnicks + water + winging spike balls + lost rings actually gummed up the works nicely.
That reminds me of something I noticed with the NES game Gradius II - that stage with the ice crystals that break when you shoot them... having the Vic Viper, 4 option shadowing, all of those shooting a ripple laser and twin missiles ON TOP OF enemy ships flying and shooting at you AND the ice crystal things moving around and splitting when you shoot them.... holy shit, the lags.
On a computer running a 2.2GHz Intel i3 with an nVidia ge-force GT 660 card and 4GB of ram, how good can you get games running?
I can rn Garry's Mod, or any other source game, at highest setting AND run FRAPS at 60FPS full size without everything becoming laggy and shit [even maps with a lot of water, and all sorts of rendering effects] - if that serves any purpose so far as putting into perspective what it currently CAN run.
I'm confused, having heard conflicting things, as to whether fair use counts as "permissible infringement," or if fair use is an outright EXCEPTION, and not an infringement.
there are sites with all the listed parts needed, and the instructions on HOW to build, a ROM dumper for various consoles - if you're into building it yourself... if you're looking for prebuilt hardware for dumping, I gotta look as even I'M curious about that.

Says the one implying hings not even stated - or implied - by the sig, derailing this discussion course. Oh the irony.

By allowing these bots to run as flawed as they are now, they're accessories, no way around it.
Well, nobody said they have thus far, and even if they do say it, they do - we all do, IT'S CALLED PRIVACY you fucking moron.
Never mind that people think like that seriously, so it really isn't obvious in any sense of the word.
Um... first point is irrelevant, 2nd point is flat wrong, mr. Anon. Coward.
Actually, the thing is the example DOES provide it, the problem is too many people butcher the shit out of the quote and leave the important points in the example out, and as a result all we have is a discombobulated mess.
There typically is a comments section on the page for a particular torrent. Bad torrents are called out there it seems.

So? Broke the law maybe, but that wasn't the focus of the discussion at this point. Stop shifting the goalposts.
um... who said anything about actually pirating Windows aside from something being so ineffective that pirating would be better? RTFP more?
Who cares? I care, people who believe in the notion that not everything is everybody's business care. Privacy matters to us, if you don't understand that, that's your thing, don't make it our problem.
Sounds less an issue of being good or bad and more a matter of crappy search algorithms.
Um.... so basically, posting anon == no balls? [citation needed, please]
