Even if it "encourages" it hardly justifies it. It is breaking the law, plain and simple. I'm rather tired of people shifting the blame to the content producers

Even if it "encourages" it hardly justifies it. It is breaking the law, plain and simple. I'm rather tired of people shifting the blame to the content producers or publishers. If you're going to break the law, at least own up to it and don't try to shift the blame.
- hellrich 16y agoI didn't want to talk about law, it's surely illegal. We could talk abbout ethics, I don't believe the current rules for IP are fair. But let's simply talk about business opportunities - as others have pointed out, you can make money with free downloads and a donation button. Or bundling some advertisment with your product. Static content (e.g. music, books, most games,...) can and will be pirated, whining won't stopp anyone.
