This is his business. =D

Read the last few paragraphs, and decided not to  read the rest. He's making retarded statements like
--- Quote ---Didn't Microsoft literally steal DOS? Oh sure, the guys who developed it were dumb enough to sell it cheap

and other nonsensical stuff. It felt a bit like reading a school essay written from bits and pieces of memorized information along with a whole lot of semi-philosophical questions.

fohfoh:
I didn't note that, but the ads and the shit at the top (including the donation button) told me the guy was an idiot trying to get a free lunch.

If you write a software, you make a tool, and I don't see a problem with intellectual property. So I stand with kyanwan's opinion on this one.

If you write a book which is also a document on some specific subject and is used as a tool (recipes, manuals, thesis, etc...), however if it is music or a fictional book and everything else that has cultural value, then I am all for sharing. I believe that once an artist of some sort creates something of an artistic value, it's no longer his, but belongs to the society. Also, as long as artists are credited for their work, they always have the possibility of making money on it.

However this topic is about software, so I don't have any excuse to pirate it, although I do that with some software.

I concur, though my definition totally says, "ZOMFG You steal!" I don't care. The definition is the definition. I take because it's easy and I don't need any idiots to run around trying to change the definition to make themselves feel better about themselves or to change it so they can take off their tinfoil hats.

It's not "I share"... no. It's "I pirate". Pussies who want to pretend they're doing something "Not-non" legal should just stfu. This shit is about as bad as littering or jaywalking. Just because a whole lot of people do it doesn't mean you can't get caught for it. Just because it's done by a lot of people doesn't mean we need to make it legal.

Well, there is a difference between pirating something like a movie over the Internet and physically stealing a movie. In the later case one person has and another person does not, in the former case, one person has and that other person still has.
