I see. People who create a product, market it, and ask that people not
copy it and give it away for free are rich thieving pigs. What an
interesting little interpretation of reality... How, in your mind, would
they avoid being pigs? Would ID rise from the moral cesspool and attain
godhood if they gave their games away for free, destroying themselves for
your welfare? Exactly how much money, in your opinion, is it proper for
us to allow these "pigs" to have? By that same line of reasoning, if it
is to be considered morally correct to give away for free what others
have created, what's so wrong with selling what others have created, as
long as one doesn't make enough money to become a "rich thieving pig"?
Hell, while we're at it, I'll go over to Romero's house and steal half of
what he owns, because when you really look at, the law that says it's
illegal to take another person's possessions was just created by rich
bastards who wanted to keep me from having their stuff...
Thanks for showing me the Way, and demonstrating your wisdom. To think
that all this time I thought you were just another frustrated, angry,
moron who's probably never produced anything worthwhile in his lifetime,
and who feels a need to whine that anybody who has, is a thieving pig.
How could I ever have thought such a thing? Silly me.
