[citation][nom]lljones[/nom]So, is anybody starting to sweat a little?Well, the comment was meant to be lighthearted but I see that I have offended many people. So let me continue. To all those who thumbed me down, I beseech you to please all get together and write down your divine moral code so that we may all bask in the absolute purity that is you. You buy all of your software, well fantastic for you. Would you like a medal or a chest to pin it on? I am sure that you follow all other rules to the letter as well, never ever have you sped or driven even after a single drink, you all declare extra income from having sold something no matter what the dollar value or in anyway ever done anything against any law as by your attitudes from your postings, you are as pure as newly fallen snow.Again for the sake of all humanity, tell how you became so enlightened and just. If there is some reason you can't tell us, then may we bask in the glow that must emanate from your very body. Your mere words scribed onto the lowliest of of parchment would in a heartbeat become more holy than any teachings written by anyone. The Analects, The Koran, The Old and New Testament, and The Talmud would all be proven to be false as you people are the Truth.So perfect that we can lo longer consider you even human, You have become Deity's or even Demigods. Ah, what views you must enjoy from up there. It is indeed a bitter realization that I, a mere flawed mortal, will never be able to attain your majesty. I shall however somehow manage to deal with this bane, maybe by accepting that some people are just born superior. It will be difficult, but I will try. This is a double post[/citation]

[citation][nom]g00fysmiley[/nom]you really are a drone if you believe that , stealing is stealing and your educational argument... there is a reason most software companies liek adobe and microsoft offer huge discounts to students so they can learn thier software legitimatly[/citation]
Ok so...4 pages of comments is too many, but I feel that someone like you might deserve a response to this mockery of intelligence, however futile it may be.
Software is intellectual property. That still counts. To prove that this point, try selling a World Of Warcraft account on Ebay. It won't sell because there are rules against the selling of intellectual property.
One more thing. Copying a car? Wtf?

[citation][nom]bsbsbsbs[/nom]I still remember downloading Duke3d off a BBS on my 14.4baud modem!!!!Took forever but the sweet smell of piracy and 3 episodes of wicked gameplay was overwhelming.This is why piracy exists. To make you happy![/citation]

I'm no fan of piracy, but I gave you a thumbs up simply because you mentioned Duke. When DNF comes out, it deserved to be paid for, please don't pirate it.
