You miserable, scummy, puppy-stomping, baby-punting pirate bastard! You
should burn in hell for your evil, rotten piratical ways! I'm going to
turn you into the police! Not only do you want to infringe on Disney's
copyright, stealing characters that they have a legal right to, you offer
in return a blatantly illegal, stolen copy of a copyrighted CD! BASTARD!
You will go to jail for 10,000 years and pay a billion dollar fine for
your stupidity of posting about your intention to commit a crime!

Anybody see my point? Where were the self-appointed copyright police when
people released the Star Wars or Aliens patches? It was blatant theft of
those companies' intellectual property, but nobody seemed to care, then,
probably because they were having fun, playing with their stolen
property...
Piracy is wrong. There is no moral justification for piracy, whether it
is of software, printed materials, music, or other "intellectual
property". Many people tend to do it however, for instance, every single one
of you who ever played any of the above-mentioned graphics patches. Why
did you do it? Because you wanted to. You had access to these pieces of
stolen property, so you just took them, and were entertained by them,
without a thought to the people who created them originally. How noble
and moral of you.
I find it amusing that so many people on this group don't notice the
interesting contradiction inherent in condemning others for a crime that
one has freely and openly commited oneself...
