Theft hate and hypocrisy, sitting in a tree, k.i.s.s.i.n.g :P

Being a part of both a coder community and an art community, and also having a few musician friends off- and on-line I started noticing this hilarious thing

nicely put there!

[specis]

Very well put shadee, i myself have complained about piracy, and possibly while waiting on some new episode of some TV program that hasnt started airing here in the UK.

I dont like piracy, but i also dont see it as totally evil, from my "groups" perspective (Software) as my take on it is, that about 90 - 95% of the people the warez software probably wouldnt buy it anyway so dont actually effect the profit of the industry, though there is folk that use the pirate version with the mentality "Ill pay for it next month" its these poeople that hurt the industry.

Ive seen a lot of coders that are usually 100% anti-warez go on about pirating MacOS to test a demo because "They dont own a mac" or "Its just to test" or some other lame excuse, thats all it is... and i hope that it comes back and bites them when they try to release there own products :)

anyway free tools, hehe

Free Pascal
Mono
GCC
Dev-C

etc loads free compilers out there :)

MetaCity for audio etc :)

Yup, I agree with the fact that it's not completely evil.
I just find the people who get so enraged about it, stomp people in the ground over it while they themselves use warezed software unbelievably funny and quite silly :)

ooh @ free Pascal btw :D

Yes those kinds of people ARE really annoying, i freely accept it as a nessescary evil. but others bitch and bitch and bitch then turn round and do it too

we should join up and rid the world of these kinds of people! :P
