Have you ever downloaded Copyrighted material without the proper License?

[1024]

Well?

Disclaimer: If you admit to it and it leads to a warez ban, i'm not responsible, but i still laugh in your face, dumbass. /me pointlaughs

[Sputty]

Everyone has I'm sure(BTW, the porn industry is losing far more money than the recording industry)

[1024]

my fault, sry.

[Corrosion]

Do you need to ask?

[EineBeBoP]

my fault, sry.
Im certainly not helping either :ugh:

[Everay]

Im certainly not helping either :ugh:

the porn industry? :rofl: i dont think many people do, and those that do, dont know how to use google.

[firecrackerNC]

Google sucks for porn .You get a website and 50 thousand pop ups come up, you click out 1 2 more pop up. Sucks, Use kazaa or something. As for illegally dling music, I would never do just a terrible and unjust act ever. It is against my religion and may god help your souls who do steal those poor starving artists money. Its people like you who made it so artists actually have to watch there money and not just buy everything thats shiny. Hopefully Jesus forgives you, for I know that those poor artists won't.

Actually im Atheist and have no objection dling music. Tho I never said I dl just that I have no objection if you do ;)

[Corrosion]

Omg. He used spaces. :love:

[firecrackerNC]

Yes, yes much :love: for bringing me off the dark ways of no spacing.

[juggalokilla]

yeah, stop stealing from the musicians. Little john needs a new 3 million dollar diamond studded goblett and new 200,000 dollar platinum teeth with diamonds in them also. wouldnt want them to starve or something
:nono:

[firecrackerNC]

Exactly! No one thinks of the artists and how there affected. For every CD you dont buy is $.10 down the drain from them. Sure they may make a few mil doing comercials and concerts but thats beside the point. Think of the childr.....err artists. Please, think of the artists :tear:

[Infernus]

<.< >.> No, not me, never...

:lol: I don't even think it's 10 cents per CD.


Also, Artists and whatnot need to stop making shitty music, I'm not gonna pay 15 dollars for one song. It's not piracy that's ruining the business, it's shitty artists.

[Setari]

yea, most of the music out right now is shitty with several exceptions.

[Pilgrim]

Honestly to the best of my knowledge I never have.

Never D/L a movie
Never Ever D/L a Game unless it's a demo authorized by the maker
Never a song unless agai it's autorized by the artist.


I just have a moral objection to stealing so I choose not to do it.

No really

[Spee]

Ill download a song or two, and if I -really- like the song, Ill try a few others. If I like them as well, I generally go out and buy the cd.


However, thats only happened in 2 instances. Because music today sucks the big one.

And the ONLY game I have Downloaded, is Morrowind. I do that once every 9 months or so. Or whenever I get the craving for some evil.

[Jaged]

I have lotsa warez software ans some music. I have never warezed a game. Donno why but it just dosent happen.

[Dharkbayne]

Praetorians, Stronghold + Xpack, RoN Xpack, Far Cry, Thief III, Doom III, Halo PC, Need for Speed Underground, 500+ songs, Xwing VS Tie Fighter, Blitzkrieg:Burning whatever, Call of Duty, and some other shit that I can't remember right now.

[UncleDynamite]

I've downloaded music, but if I like the band, then I usually buy the CD anyway.

[MrPaul]

Dhark: I wasn't aware that CoD was warezable? You learn something new every day.

(On that matter, are there any working Cracks out there for CoD, because the ones Ive dlled don't work and my CDs are at least 4 feet from my PC.)
(Game Cracks = Not Warez)

[Baneblade]

I run a warez copy of WinME, doesn't get any lower than that.

[Dharkbayne]

I run a warez copy of WinME, doesn't get any lower than that.

Jesus christ man, why don't you warez XP?! That's just SAD. Who the hell would warez WINME?!

[Baneblade]

Me. It runs great, so haven't really needed to get XP. But I will be when I build my next machine.

[Derfud]

I have never bough music, but I have every single metallica song ever, how is that?

[MrPaul]

I have never bough music, but I have every single metallica song ever, how is that?
Christmas presents?

[Dharkbayne]

I have never bough music, but I have every single metallica song ever, how is that?

You poor soul, :(

[Derfud]

ok, lets say I have no music CDs (aside from a wierd Al, monty python, and a red alert 2 disc I got with the RA2 collectors edition)

[ViperGTS]

Ive DL like 8 songs ever...
Never a game of movie....

[OfaLoaf]

I d/led the RoN x-pack, but I have no idea how to work it.

[Jaged]

I am a genious! There is a program for mac called virtual PC. I warez it on my Imac a while ago but it was buggy as shit. I found out the problem was it diddnt work very well for win 98, the only windows I had unlimited uses for. Just warez xp too, duh. Now I dont have to use OSX anymore, YAY!

[Everay]

No reallyGood for you man. :thumbsup:
---------------

I have downloaded a few things. Mostly songs, a few games/apps, but never movies. Most of what I have downloaded I have actually ended up buying anyway. Not that that makes it right, it dosn't, just commenting. :p

That's it? noob.

Im known for my horrible typing.

hell, if i'd typed that without ever hitting backspace,

it'd come our t like this. see ow horriblre it is?

[Indecisive]

I downloaded windows once. It was shitty and corrupt.

I downloaded bf1942 way back in the day. It was fucking missing the textures.


Now I buy everything, except music. If you can afford a 10 million dollar boat, then you dont need my overpriced 15 bucks, expecially when I only like one song.

[Dharkbayne]

That's it? noob.

No, that's just all I could remember, :p

Same here.

If you can't afford a Ferrari, you don't go to a parking lot and steal one do you?

I can't begin to express my disdain for you warez monkeys. The people bragging about it are the first ones the FBI should visit.

[Hamma]

Why would I ban you for asking who downloads warez? :p

[Squeeky]

Why would I ban you for asking who downloads warez? :p

Cause you're a nazi :p :love:

[TotalBiscuit]

Here's a few facts for ya.

The Music Industry is controlled by 5 Major labels, like a cartel. This should technically be illegal, but for some reason it isn't because RIAA guys with government influence slipped a subsection into a bill somewhere that gave them immunity from certain anti-trust laws.

Those 5 major labels control 90% of music sold and yet only 10% of professional music as a whole.

Those 5 major labels pay their artists around 7% royalties. However they do not pay the artists ANYTHING until they've paid off all the costs of recording and promotion. That means that in reality for an artist to see any of that money, they have to sell around 500,000 to 1,000,000 cds.

But wait, it gets better. Those 5 major labels operate a system called Payola. This is also technically illegal but they still get away with it. It involves paying radio stations to play tracks. The reason you heard Britney 30 times yesterday? The label bribed the station to do it. They also pay the stations to keep independant labels OFF the air and their stuff on. This means that they shift units simply by shoving music down the throats of people who don't neccessarily want to hear it. It's paramount to brainwashing.

The RIAA is blamed for all this suing of working class families and such for downloading music, but in reality all the RIAA is, is a panel of execs from the 5 major labels. The RIAA is like a phantom entity, a lightning rod if you will, which attracts the bad press and keeps people away from sniffing around the heels of the 5 major labels.

But that can change, and it is changing. Go and check outDownhillbattle.org (http://www.downhillbattle.org), the music activism site for information on the anti-RIAA stuff and supporting independant labels and real artists. Wanna do something? Stop buying major label music. Check outThe RIAA Radar (http://www.riaaradar.com). You can use that to find out if a cd is published by a member of the RIAA or not. The major labels have many many front 'sub-labels' which they've either created or bought out, which they use to fool people into buying music, thinking it's not from one of the major labels, but that they're supporting an independant. This site has complete listings of all the RIAA affiliated labels (some of which didn't even know they were members until a recent Downhillbattle Information campaign cut a big chunk out of RIAA memberships).

As you can tell, this is something I feel really strongly about.

TB.

[firecrackerNC]

^ Very nice dude. Great post ima check that one site out now.

[Everay]

i have before, but i have also bought the items ive downloaded before as well, so long as i can actualy find it, if i cant, i feel no guilt about it, like, ive downloaded music i couldnt find on CD, or a game that i cant find in the stores anymore.

[eXoSloth]

Ocansionally music (though I usually buy it afterwards), very rarely a game, but never a movie.
