“My story isn’t one of inspiration but one of caution. It could happen to anyone out there. I know people are thinking ‘nah, not me’, but that’s what I thought too and now here we are.”
The only difference is that we aren't major torrent uploaders with dozens of servers dedicated solely for pirating.
Wow, how do I express my vast relief and great pride in the FBI. You just don't know how many nights I hide under my covers worrying that "somebody" might have an unauthorised copy of "Mars needs Moms". Funny how when the Patriot Act was being rushed through Congress we were all told that it would never effect anybody rights but the "Bad guys".
But we keep hearing these stories on how it's used more to help big biz (RIAA) then to stop anybody "real" from hurting us.
They might think that but we know better. It could happen to anybody. There you are, ironing your shirts in the morning, then whooops - you accidentally configure 50 100Mb servers to stream pirate movies, then you iron another shirt, then whooops - another 50 100Mb servers!
The invention of photography was silenced for years by portrait studio's as it would jeopardize their business. That was in the 1820's. This kind of shenanigans stopping new technologies has been going on much longer than people think.
Also do not forget that in days long before even the 1820's, reading was solely taught to the upper classes - you would not want just ANYONE to read as it would put strange thoughts into people's minds.
That's how it almost happened to me exactly. LOL. But seriously, a domestic terrorist? Who is he terrorizing and who's life is being endangered here? Oh, I get it, its because he endangered the LIFEstyle of the rich by eating into their profits. Big Brother won't have you messing with Big Business like that, no no no.
That is just some Bull**** Let us share, or we will do it without your permission. Politics and Government - they are all the same in every country. They just can't accept that there can be something that is not under their control.
Charging $60 for a game is not wrong... IF IT IS A GOOD GAME.
What is horribly wrong is charging $60 for a half-assed, barely playable, beta-test-in-progress, cobbled together piece of s**t. Unfortunately that covers about sixty to seventy percent of most games.
And it stems from one thing: Greed. Get that motherf**ker out the door and on the shelves so we can make boatloads off the masses and then *MAYBE* we will dedicate some time to fix the issues we've known about since halfway through development.

Copyright infringement is violation of civil and criminal law. It is two treats in one. You can get hit with both when you do it.
Someone lied to you about this, or you just guessed wrong?

If the uploaders are not profiting from their actions... where is the controversy?

Right and wrong are all matter of perspective.
For instance, i think that everything the recording industry does is wrong; Its core value, greed, is a horrible force in this world.

It's not theft, it's copyright infringement. One is a criminal act and the other is a civil matter. Get it right dumb ass.

In fact I think it is really good. It's a change of technology, it's people resistance to change, ..
There are parts on the process that are quite unfair right now, .. but this will happen until the parts adapt to the new situation.
