Yay! Funny thread is back.

BTW...what the heck are you talking about? You wanna pirate DVDs? Believe me, you're not gonna make much money unless you buy DVD-Rs in bulk or something since the media is expensive. Selling VCDs and games is where the money's at.

<---- has seen an entire mall devoted to pirated movies and software here in Hong Kong...pretty cool.

I think the reason people don't really care about stealing software or mp3's is because none of this stuff is physical.

If I steal a car, someone looses their expensive investment. With software, I don't actually STEAL anything, I only make a copy of it for myself. There is no loss of physical property.

Just like many people, I don't give 2 sh!ts about stealing software. I haven't downloaded a pirated game or warez application in a pretty long time, but I still have a few things on my system.

Nero 5.5
CloneCD (I don't know why I keep this cause my burner cant even copy new games anyway)
Photoshop 6
WinDVD 3
WS_FTP 6
JMP IN 4 (Statistics software for school)
Diskeeper
Speeddisk 5
HD Tache
Partition Magic 6
Powerstrip
Window Blinds

Thats all the stolen stuff I have (as well as ~2000 MP3's). I don't feel bad for using this stuff. I paid $200 for my DVD drive. Why pay another $80 just to buy software to actually view my DVD's when I can do it for free.

btw, its only illegal if you get caught.
