Pfft I knew I'd get bashed
Dude, I'm not defending my friend here - I'm not saying "uuuh, evil affiliate doing bad things to people who download torrents!!!" I am saying "eeeh, affiliate uses stolen goods to get paid by AFF for people who are not interested in buying a membership" - I thought THAT would matter to AFF? Fuck torrent downloaders really... they deserve all the spam, spyware and fines they can get, yes, even my friend
Also, it wasn't porn, he's not in the industry and no, he doesn't participate in any other kind of fraud - it was a mainstream movie he's ashamed to go see at the theater (a male, alone at a romantic comedy that they translated as "a night of music and love"?) and can't wait to see because he fancies the girl.
He's a DVD collector too and a huge movie fan. He has a membership card to the local cinema, and if for some reason a movie doesn't come down here and he's waiting to watch it: yes, he'll download it, and will buy the dvd as soon as it's available.
He didn't tell me "oh... look at this" he asked me if I knew how to obtain zip passwords because he didn't want to sign up to AFF and I'm "computer savvy". And no, I don't know how to crack passwords of anything, so yes, he'll have to suck up and go to the theater - happy?.
