If you provide links to child porn off a site you sell advertising on, are you innocent?

One of the most honest and dumbest things you've said. Yes we are concerned about our income, as are you, the guys who run Pirate Bay and may other profiting or losing out from piracy.

Piracy hurts everyone, except the few running sites profiting from it, and the West is waking up to the fact at last. People lose their jobs, earn less and suffer from piracy. The music and porn industry have been devastated by piracy. Less money means less investment, innovation and quality.

It might even be hurting you. Because instead of writing programs you can sell to companies making good profits on the Net you are writing programs for companies struggling to make a profit. But you can't see that because your mind is so set on the wrong path.

Yes laws need to be changed and they will be.

i sell scripts right now so of course i don't want everything to be free

i have repeatedly said that if you were to take my scripts and load them onto a public tracker i would not sue you for copyright infringement but i would sue you for the breach of contract and the $900/seed in damage that breach would cost.

I can do that because i setup a private tracker for my scripts.
Good luck trying to do that with someone Russia, China or a country that makes it hard for you to sue. Maybe it woud take this to make you see COMMON SENSE.

By definition since the original is not taken it can't be stealing.
ANOTHER STUPID STATEMENT. Pirates are stealing profits and until someone does it to you, you're never going to get it.

Don't bother replying to these because you will never care until you lose your income from piracy.
