Thank you for taking your time to respectfuly respond to a complicated topic. At this point, all I can say, is that advertising yourself doing any crime is quite retarded.

But yeah. When it comes to the rest, I cannot say I agree.

I find it strange when you're comparing it to stealing food. No, there is not such a need, but when you steal food, someone finds he is poorer the next day. Same does not happen with piracy.

There are many open source developers out there, who are well off by themselves, and downloading their product is ok, but when you coudn't afford to buy a licensed one, suddenly downloading is bad?

I am sorry, but I still cannot get around the equasion here.
A) I get nothing and they get nothing
or
B) I get something and they get gratitude

I just cannot see how A is better then B.

But that's just a personal moral framework. It's truly interesting to inspect ways, that morality can differ between people, but it can truly drive a person insane.

I hate when I see a video with 99 percent chance of being amazing parody, but still not being sure.

@alyx
Also:
> I have a "don't ask, don't tell" policy

about... what? Piracy?

@alyx
First: Do you agree a people with no money can pirate games morally? The games are not avaiable to them anyway, so no money is actually lost.

Second: would you agree if someone set a limit? Play game for 2 hours with intent to buy the game, if it's a good product? In that case, the money will go only to the companies with good product instead of companies with good marketing.

Yeah, It is a moral maze for sure, but I just cannot say, that an action that generates "prosperity" out of thin air is something I'm ready to condemn.

Also, my steam library is ridiculous. I have no problem with paying for games. But it's nice to also have a right to try them before I waste enough money to feed me for weeks on game, that I'll never find enjoyable.

False distinction.
Lefties love using the phrase "you have right to free speech, but not to an audience"

If you say something, it can spread. And in this case, it will.

@coolhandjames
Man... I was eating... It's dangerous to post something this spicy.

@LouisConde Yeah... and I forgot about the sanctions and banking blocks...

It would be just too risky and difficult.

@LouisConde
Obviously, this is, because who the fuck thinks about movies while war just started.

Nah, they are doung this, so they can release the movies while people are not afraid for food.

Something to calm all War thunder players in here...

It's been a stresful week, so I hope this wholesome video will help a bit.

Zakázané? ano. Obtížné ne.
Bude to asi tolik zakázané a nemožné jako stáhnout film nebo přejít semafor na červenou.

@LukeAlmighty @archos @Mac_CZ spíš si myslím, že za 10 let bude zakázáno šifrování (bez poskytnutí klíčů), budou blokovány porty i domény.. a za pouhou instalaci software typu tor se půjde rovnou sedět, protože to bude vnímáno jako rozvracení státu.. za tištění peněz jsou pomalu větší sazby než za vraždu.. bude to stejné..

no skvělá budoucnost nás čeká.. hlavně že to bude pořád v demokratické zemi se svobodou slova a pluralitou názorů, za takovou zemi přeci pořád bojujeme :-) nebo už ne?

@BlinkRape
The funny thing is, that on Timcast, they were arguing, she might have said it because she thought it "sounded cool".

The sad truth is, that from last few years I've learned that the enemies tend to mean what they say. (not during arguments, but definitely during these crazy proclamations)

I know you saw this... but do they actually want me tu support Russia? Are they retarded?

@critical I support my ass not dying because of the reptilians that rules me
@Gamercat @critical i support the new quinn order
all global elites are confined to an island reality show hunger games like they wanted the poor to live in and must fight over the title belt in unending wrestling matches
