One of my pet peeves is people that feel justified in stealing or just choose to live in denial. I’m not talking about eating a grape at the grocery (thought I have seen a lady eat a donut) which grosses me out knowing how dirty the produce actually is, but this tirade is about downloading movies.
If we heard of someone bootlegging Magic Routines we would be up in arms, but downloading movies (illegally) off the internet is somehow less deviant. Then there are those who never download (illegally) movies online, but are more than willing to have you copy them to their hard drive.

Then there are those who's hypocrisy knows no bounds, who take part in wars to thieve other peoples oil, make films about it, portraying themselves as heroes and whine about pirates.
If there is a single truth about Magic, it is that nothing on earth so efficiently evades it.

Got nothing better to do Tommy? If you feel so strong about it go make another thread. We could add a slew of subjects that folks may consider far viler than justifying piracy but luckily they have made it very easy to create individual threads here.

Pointing out hypocrisy is not justifying piracy but your dishonesty in trying to make it seem so is noted.

Oh you mean when you tried to derail this thread and make it about the United States and the Middle East and I suggested that you go and make your own thread?

I've never downloaded a movie. I HAVE watched anime that was "fan subbed" and streamed. For example "Azu Manga Diaoh" which I then ordered as soon as it was available. "Neon Genesis Evangelion" will be next, as soon as I figure out which one I need to buy.

I guess it's how nonchalant it has become. I see guys constantly sharing movies on hard drives that they downloaded. As soon as a new movie is released they are looking for a torrent (SP?) to download.

No I mean you implying that what I said was about justifing piracy, when I did no such thing and you know it.

What about the NSA downloading everything that is ours and standing up on their soap box and shouting You are a thief! Which does not justify others doing similar things obviously.

Yes Tommy that is bad too!
Bootlegging is rampant over here in Kuwait, though not condoned by the government there are still 100's of shops selling DVD's and software. I can't do anything to stop them but I have decided not to participate.

Specifically, what is the NSA downloading that is "ours?"
