[INTERESTING ARTICLE; See Page 8] Discussion: Thoughts on Piracy

[the dark side]

did i or did i not say piracy is a CRIMINAL OFFENSE?

if you want to pirate from EA, or anyone else, then i cannot and will not stop you. but, please, do NOT take my post as a "motivation" to break the law, as it was not intended that way in any way, shape or form.

i am just saying, in my opinion, that if piracy makes EA collapse, i will be sad for all the Developers who will loose there jobs, but i will also see it as an end that has justified its means as it will cause the Entire mainstream casual industry to collapse (and it needs too, casual AAA gaming is killing gaming stone dead, Again, just like it did in '82!) when the wall street money men, like Activision's Robert Kotick, panic, short the stock, float the shares, and run, just like they did when Atari imploded in the "AAA" (industry term for shovelware) crisis of 1983, and the megacorps go bankrupt because they cant afford to pay the staff.

Personally i will NEVER pirate, because its a crime, and CRIME IS WRONG!, Pirates, in my opinion, like all criminals, should be JAILED.

But, its not my place to stop people from doing it, as long as it doesnt hurt me or anyone i care about, its none of my business.
