the thing is the companys are trying to make laws against sharing that dont exist yet hint hint sopa and pipa so when u go to prison for something thats not even against the law tbh thats un law full the government bends the law to send people to jail for "piracy" now in the case of people of piratebay they were making money off there stuff giving reason to send them to jail

if you read the copy right screen before every movie back in the day which a good portion of us just try to skip past LOL it says you will be sent to jail for the copying and SELLING of this property says nothing about sharing

im sure if you were a big enough threat they will find some god awful reason attached to it to send you to jail

Quote: Acquiring information without permission *is* stealing. Anything that can be owned, can be stolen. If I break into your dads computer and take those nude pictures of your mom and spread them around your town, would you consider that stealing?

this is infact not true acquiring information with out permission is not stealing if you look at the diagram posted 2 posts above it depicts what i mean and yes i think its ok to do that as long as your not hacking because that is illegal

Quote: That's not what I meant. Piracy isn't stealing. What I meant was, own up to what you do, don't look for excuses to do it. I know full well what I do is illegal and I could get sued for it. I do it because I feel the law is corrupt in this case and that, while taking reasonable measures to ensure I don't get caught, that I have a right to share with others.

Im not giving my self excuse to download i will download and upload no matter what the hell is going on
