    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    Are you trying to wind me up? I was at no point offended by your phrasing, rather I thought your phrasing made your point wrong. I was trying to have a conversation with you about that but you and the other person who quoted me actively destroyed the possibility of this because of your...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    Finally we're discussing the material that I brought up in the first place. I agree that to some extent the effect is the same, but that doesn't mean that every word that could produce the same result should apply. If I was taxed ten pounds, it can't be said that I failed to earn ten pounds...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    How am I supposed to not be aggressive when my clearly stated opinions are being rewritten and opinions are being thrust upon me that I have at no point expressed? Particularly when I point out that this is the case and it nevertheless repeats itself from the same poster? I'm perfectly happy...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    Failure to profit is not a cost. Piracy doesn't cost games companies anything, it just prevents them from being enriched further. I used to be a frequent pirate but I grew out of my rationalisation when I realised that despite the fact the the industry continuously lies about piracy and...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    1. No-one was talking to you. Kindly keep your nose out of conversation that you clearly do not have the faculties to follow. 2. Your pathetic 'analysis' regarding "c*ck slapping" would be embarassing if said by a twelve year-old. 3. I don't deny that piracy is harmful to the games industry. I...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    Demonstrate an example of piracy costing a games company money. Not some wishy-washy bullshit about a company not making money on what it presumes would otherwise have been a sale - failure to gain is not the same as cost. If you fail to demonstrate this, I demand you retract your misleading...

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    No not really - copyright law varies massively depending on the type of thing you've copyrighted, and jurisdiction. For some things it's a strict term of years (often with extensions being something you can apply for) and with others it is natural death (often with a term thereafter), and other...

    Someone please help me understand my parents thought process

    Of course I read the rest of your post. That you're happy to do chores doesn't change the fact the your mindset is that you're doing them "for her". I'm silent on whether or not your mum is a ***** about it, because I have no way of knowing and I honestly don't care.

    Pirates accidentally preserving gaming history?

    Be wary of writing anything positive about piracy on The Escapist forum - it's an organ for expanding the revenues of the games industry rather than free and rational discourse and you could easily face mod wrath. For my part I think that there should be a ten year limit on copyright...

    What's worse, being raped, or being falsely accused of rape?

    Depends on the context. If it was at work, I'd much rather be punched in the face.

    View on rape, and the punishment/lack thereof, of the perpetrator

    It isn't so much people's gender that will impact on their thoughts on which they consider worse, but rather their intelligence. Anyone who thinks that merely being accused of rape should diminish your right to be presumed innocent in the absence of proof otherwise simply isn't firing enough of...

    What's worse, being raped, or being falsely accused of rape?

    Eugh. It's obvsiously and uncontroversially far worse to be raped than it is to be falsely accused of the same. Falsely CONVICTED, on the other hand...

    View on rape, and the punishment/lack thereof, of the perpetrator

    You can't make the claim that drastic action is needed in the absence of some indication of the form that action might take. To do so is to merely expell hot air. As for there being comparatively little interest, in the UK we have politicians trying to score points on these issues more or...

    View on rape, and the punishment/lack thereof, of the perpetrator

    And what nature should this "drastic action" have? Dimished burdens of proof? (edited wrongly attributed quote)
