Topic: Piracy... Do You Do It?

[Michael Vandeven]

"illegally" downloading music... software... videos... all dat shit, yo.  do you do it?  if so, why?  if not, why?  where do you download your illegal stuff from if you do?

personally, i just go to google and type:
whatever i'm looking for + torrent

just throw the word "torrent" in there after whatever it is you're hoping to find, and google becomes a bittorrent search engine.  works beautifully.  i rarely go directly to a bittorrent site to search for a torrent to download.  i search google first, and THEN i go directly to a few torrent sites and search if i'm not having luck looking around on google.

oh, uh, yeah, and to answer my own question above, yeah, i do it.  why?  because i like to pay less money for things rather than pay more money for things.  also, after watching how the music industry and movie industry have treated their own customers, i feel a certain urge to spit in their face.  thus, my complete disregard for their demands/concerns/hopes/desires, etc.

Of course! I live in China!

do you really live there?  and are you an american living there?  what's the story here, bud?

[Tom from Hong Kong]

Yes, an American living in Hong Kong, which is a special administrative region of China.  The Chinese flag flies over all government buildings, right above the flag of Hong Kong. And everyone over here hates Noory also!

I'm still trying to figure out how to teach that damned parrot not to shit down the sleeve of my blouse.
