Piracy
I just deleted that thread that the guy was complaining about the avi's and that it was clear he wasnt paying for SM stuff.
Many thanks for giving him a hard time, but also can we remember to report the posts so we can get rid of crap like that off the site asap.
many thanks again
Jay

Why does everyone think that because things are on the internet, that they are somehow entitled to them?
Imagination is more important than knowledge.

Unfortunately the youngest generation of hellions has become the "Me" generation, which feels they are all entitled to everything for free, because they are mostly lazy snots who feel that lifting a finger to earn their keep is beneath their self deified facades. ...Or in layman's terms, Those whom you refer are all snot nosed sniveling louse's.Originally posted by NextDesign
Heh. I've gotten PM's about this stuff, as well as asking for license keys...

they act as if stealing is nothing wrong...
although, statistically people are more likely to buy something if they pirate it than if they dont
although the people who dont are probably those kids who think it's ok to steal
these people who want everything now, never think ahead, think everyone in the world is black and white, and will shrug things off with a 'it's not my problem' attitude, and complain when someone tells them to turn their music down or tells them not to do something... i'll never understand
never.
there is such thing as too selfish...
that's a "Ch" pronounced as a "K"
Computer skills I should have:
Objective C, C#, Java, MEL. Python, C++, XML, JavaScript, XSLT, HTML, SQL, CSS, FXScript, Clips, SOAR, ActionScript, OpenGL, DirectX
Maya, XSI, Photoshop, AfterEffects, Motion, Illustrator, Flash, Swift3D

But it's strange, as it's not only the younger generation. People over 30 now pirate movies, cds, etc. It's not just an age thing.

I know statistically people are more likely to purchase something if they first download it, which in its self woudl be ok i guess, As long as the world stayed Honest with it, and did not decide to take the free way.
I do however feel that the presence of electronic media does have one true and valid warrant.
If a person has paid good funds, to purchase a product, They do have i believe the right to make a back up copy of it for themselves to keep, All storage media has its shelf life, from old school vhs tapes, to new Dvd's they will one day stop playing. So once more though, you run into the issue of honesty, which seems to by and large be a way gone part of societal evolution this day and age.

Truly, if that ever comes to be, I don't think people would ever leave their homes. Reminds me of that Futurama episode with Lucy Liu...

Everyone here..
You get a 3d printer, can print off anything you want...
and you are a modeler, and can model anything you need.
Would you not model yourself the woman you want printed off in 3d?!?!?...I ...well actually i woudn't,
i'd steal Jay's heroine from Outlaws and print her off..
Non The less!
Ohh yea, and i'd also print me off a copy of Sigorney's Avatar..I don't care if she is 10 foot 12 inches tall!...I'd still smurf her blue ass behind the barn!
