Title: what is with you guys???
Post by: luckee on November 28, 2001, 09:44:07 AM
In reference to the piracy thread recently closed. None of you DL mp3\'z? All of you pay for every single piece of sw? I burned close to 300 ps1 games..mainly to have as backups..some I burned to share with friends. I honestly don\'t see the big deal.

The thing is, we can\'t be sure who\'s reading the boards. This is a pretty big site and if some important guy reads this board and see\'s how we are talking about best ways to pirate a game....than well, this site get\'s closed.

I for one am not afraid to admit that I pirate games, music and software (allthough only for personal use...honestly).

But as I said, we can\'t risk it.

No-One....that makes more sense, thanx for taking the time to explain it to me instead of me just seeing threads on it closed time and time again.

Also, wouldnt disclaimers protect the boards from that type of thing? Or more specifically the 1st amendment(i think its the 1st)

All other boards I frequent dont have those worries which is why I asked.

The problem is, (speaking from a web admin sense) if you have someone speaking of piracy or copy right infringement type stuff you want that no where near a serivce you are running.

Just allowing a link or someone talk about it opens you up to so much harrasment.

There are places to talk about it and places to get it, just not here.

The 1st admendment applies to the US dood, this server is not in the US...

Don\'t forget, there a lot of people on there outside of the US, and unfortuneatly the US constitution does not apply.

I can see a disclamer, but thats the admins choice.  With so many corporations causing trouble, the admins don\'t need that headache for supplying us with such a great service.

There are many places to talk about it and if the mods don\'t want to deal with it then that is their choice.  

I think some of the stuff they close is a bit ridiculous, but again, that is their decision.  We just need to only talk about flowers and rate my poo.

Posting a disclaimer on your website will not prevent you from being sued by Sony or any other big corporation.  If Bjorn was sued, and he didn\'t have the money to defend himself in court, then his only choice would be to capitulate to Sony\'s demands.  (which may include shutting down the site.)  Just the threat of a lawsuit is now all the deterrence needed in today\'s Internet.

Ok, in that case, then go to an airport, board a plane with a briefcase and proclaim that you have a bomb in your briefcase.  Watch what happens.

The 1st amendment is fine and all, but there are limits to everything.  This site, or this forum in particular as proclaimed by our communist leader, is not a democracy and what the administrators say, goes.  I know a lot of people on here pirate mp3\'s, games, movies, whatever, but no one here openly discusses it and asks of ways to find it easier and faster.  It\'s just common sense.  Nothing more.

LUKE Thats the road map that the little bits of data that go from my computer and goto these forums..

ITs called a traceroute.  And does what it says Traces the Route that the data has to take to reach a certain place..

Dood I have power at my finger tips.  Thats only a trace, I can get more info for ya if you want..  But I don\'t want to do anything at work that will get me in trouble..

Like I could get you Bjorn telephone number, address, all kinds of things..

Quite simple really..  But we will leave it at that...  Educate yourself, KNOWLEDGE is power

1st amendment?  freedom of speech

this is a private forum, you have NO freedom of speech

people advocate piracy, they get banned

simple enough, no?

go re-read what I wrote..I didn\'t say the ppl posting had freedom of speech in a private forum, I meant it more as the content on these boards in general. as in said company vs. ps2central, not a admin/mod vs. a poster.

Hell, even if it weren\'t illegal, piracy hurts the industry we all love so much, so that\'s all the more reason not to allow talk of it here.

(listens to MP3s while I type)

So I\'m a hypocrite. Lick me.

BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BAD BOY

we have a very strict NO Piracy Rule here at the forum and we intend to keep it that way.

Sorry Lukee but these forums are visited from time to time by Rep\'s on behalf of Sony.

If you don\'t beleve me well there wasa Dreamcast froum that was closed by SEGA for having threads on about bruning DC games

Sorry i like this place and dont want to see it threatend


Thread Closed

*edit*
i have reopened it but remember not to talk about piracy  you can talk about our attatudes towards it but no about it OK

ANY Piracy Talk or its

Thread Closed time again

piracy is bad, very true statement

I have loads of mp3s, but it only makes me buy more CDs? right?
I used to have pirated games, but I got rid of them quickly. For some reason I cannot enjoy pirated games, the same thing happens when I play roms on an emulator. If I dont buy a game, I feel wierd playing it

I respect software companies/ music artists therefore I\'m willing to buy their products

weird but true

Wha???  Is that....  Yes, I think it\'s my favorite quote on this forum to date.  Putting Vivi\'s rental rant about The Bouncer in 2nd place.  ~Cored 0wNz j00~

Metgearray- I know what you mean.  I have purchased more CDs than I ever have in my life due to Napster and now Morpheus.  The MPAA and record companies don\'t seem to care that album sales went noticeably down soon after Napster was shut down.

As for videogame piracy,  my buddy has harddrives of ROMS and says he has every SNES and Genesis game ever made (and after browsing his FTP I believe him).  I dloaded several favorites, but I don\'t play them at all anymore.  There\'s just something about having that shiny new game with it\'s box in front of your face and popping it into your console.

Now PC software, that\'s a different story..
