FBI begins antipiracy "crusade"

[Prince of China]

That's why I'm adding them to the Axis of Evil 2.0!

The Source for Windows Robotic AI has been released onto the Internet, some shocking reads provide insight into the flaws that have plagued these robots for years. Many lines of code included the words "Kill all humans".

I think we all know Babel Fish is a machine and that machines do not make mistakes.

Well, actually babelfish is proof of the existence of god, and also proof that he doesn't exist.

 

[Prince of China]

What's babelfish?

 

[Prince of China]

That's gotta be false babelfish, China doesn't allow churches. Not only do they arrest Christians, but many are executed....well, that's neither here nor there, but the thing about the church is way off for China.

That's false! China doesn't kill Christians.

 

[GhostValkyrie]

That's false! China doesn't kill Christians.

*barely audible laugh*
Ruuuuiiiiight...

GV, are you sure about your facts there? You've already proved me wrong within the last hour or so, but I thought I'd let you do it again
Seriously, China's relations, both economic and diplomatic, with the rest of the world are getting better and better, seeing as China is pseudo-Communist at best and I doubt so very much that this would even beging to happen if they were randomly executing Christians. Many of the people they deal with are Christians, after all.

 

[Prince of China]

I went to China and I am a Christian...hmm, I must be dead then.

I didn't say randomly, it's more or less directed in degrees of "harm" they've done (Spreading Christian propaganda, brainwashing people, etc.). Just last month they imprisoned some 300 Christians when they busted them praying.

It'd be different if you were a Chinese citizen. Of course they wouldn't arrest and execute an American tourist :| Good way to start a war

 

[blahblahblah]

China is against organized religions. They feel that any other formal organization other than the government is bad. While they may not kill Christians out right, they are heavily persecuted in China because it is against state law in China.

 

[GhostValkyrie]

I was talking about Citizens. And I didn't say they execute all Christians all the time, just that they do. If a man steals sometimes you don't say he steals all the time, just that he steals.

I'm a Chinese Christian who's a Canadian Citizen.
Canada!

 

[Shuzer]

..this went from piracy raids, to babelfish discussion, to religious laws in China, odd

I'm a Chinese Christian who's a Canadian Citizen.
Canada!

Same difference, some reason I thought you were American though..
either way, arresting tourists for their religious beliefs isn't a good idea

 

[GhostValkyrie]

..this went from piracy raids, to babelfish discussion, to religious laws in China, odd

Which is why China is part of the Axis of Evil 2.0

I expect to add it to ver 2.1 when I get finished updating my Justice Files.

nice job FBI, this move has "stunning success" written all over it..

 

[Mechagodzilla]

All sympathy for the warez jerks is lost when you try to read this:

Huh? http://undying.by***/flt.JPG Wha?

That's just skirting the borders between inarticulate and incomprehensible. :|

Are you trying to say that they're in the wrong?

 

[Dark Angel]

This is some good news the internet needs a good clean up and the punks that have a hand in this sort of thing gets whats coming to them.

Ever notice all the junk mail you get in your e-box and viruses or even spywares attached to the things like Warze well if the FBI does a good job this is the place to start fighting them and get rid of these problems.

 

[Lil' Timmy]

i'm trying to say they're in the "ineffectual"

 

[XenoSpirit]

the way i see all the piracy stuff is just that all thees greedy ppl jack up and over price the music DVD games ect... i say if victim #1 buys a 59.99$ game from his local wal-mart then he shoudl have the right (since he had to pay this outragious ~i think thaz correct spellin...~ bill for hte game...) he should have the right to burn the cd and atleast give a copy to a friend... now mass copying it and selling it on the internet is one thing... buying an over priced cd and puting it on kazza for download is a nuther... the FBI needs to screw its self and work on bigger things... like drugs beer and outher shiz...

i say downloading music is not illeagal but the ********* out thare whine that thare going outa bussiness from piracy and downloading... ppl are only downloading and pirating because of over priced stuff... now ppl have a chance to stop it before they REALLY go out of bussiness

my summery

the stupid over priceing music whoors need to go out of bussiness if they wana be greedy!

as for downloading and kazza stuff... i say let them download i mean they payed for it let them do what they want with it aslong as thare not copying it and selling it!!!!

for the FBI... i say they need to cleen up thare act and press more on drugs and kidnappings... then again they do just go for the easyest man out thare...

well thats it...

my post can be edited by mods admins ect i know its spammy and probly pointless but its how i talk on forums and its how i get my point across to outher ppl...

~edit~ to the above post (2 nd above) your right... the FBI needs to forget the piracy and go after Email bombers and spyware / virus...

~im not a fan on downloading or piracy since i dont even have a taste in them!!!~ lol... but i do download stuff from fileplanet ex. patches and movies...

 

[CyberSh33p]

Music piracy I would say is a lot of BS in and of itself. as some d00d once said, losses to piracy(P) are equal to wished for earnings(W) minus actual earnings (A)

P = W-A

The same thing happened with the radio, and the RIAA is more corrupt than the piraters.
IIRC when file sharing first started sales went up.

Games, movies, etc are a bit different I'd say, but still have some good points about them. PC games you can't rent, at least not in any random blockbuster, and for obvious reasons. This means you can't try the game to decide if you want to buy it or not. Some folks, though admittedly probably a select few, will indeed buy the game if they enjoyed it. The problem is a lot don't.

As for movies, I can't say because you can indeed rent those, unless they're some obscure foreign film.

Its understandable why the FBI would go after pirates of course, it hurts the economy, and it makes rich businesspeople cry at night and the government really hates it when that happens. However, I think Piracy is a problem blown way out of proportion. I don't think the movie industry has been hurt at all by piracy, in fact, mostly by their ridiculous prices. The games industry Has probably been hurt more, But the industry continues to grow(and I have a feeling it will grow more with the release of upcoming titles) and piracy probably isn't going to slow it down too much. And with things like steam, they can probably make piracy harder and harder.

Either way, with all this, I think the whole point I'm trying to make has been lost in random unconected sentences, but I'm pretty sure the jist of it was "the fbi is wasting their time". Kind of like I am wasting mine by hanging out here rather than doing homework

Now speak up, which idiots actually bothered to read this incoherent and convoluted post?

What the hell part of Texas are you from? I've never had to pay 59.99 for a game. The msot was 58.99 and that was a pre-order with overnight shipping, including tax.

 

[XenoSpirit]

for one i havent downloaded the leaked beta cause ppl on thees forums are sniches and like to tell ppl who downloaded what and end up getting ppl sued for downloading... then again valve shouldnt have faked a hack... and as for 59.99 games? most games here are 39.99 - 49.99 but some higher end games are 59.99

 

[Neutrino]

.. then again valve shouldnt have faked a hack...

Whoa there, hold up a second. Faked a hack? May I see your evidence?

Hmm...I live in the Arlington/Ft. Worth area, I've never seen games for 59.99.
Weird.

I don't think anyone here has been reported to anyone for downloading the beta. Let alone get sued by someone.

 

[phantomdesign]

Those defending piracy would probably be singing a different tune if their software/music was being stolen.

From my talking to people online (usually about GTA VC becasue of a video I created) a lot of them tell me they'll download the PC version off of kazza. I usually figure out most of them have plenty of money to buy the computer game.

Just a quick note: The FBI isn't attacking downloaders as much as the people who supply the downloaders (aka the people who initally crack & distribute hte software).


GO FBI!!!!

I think we all know Babel Fish is a machine and that machines do not make mistakes.

No, just idiot programmers

Proof of this faked hack perhaps?
