Although I don't see the topic getting much better than the link in the second post, and I have a tendency to skip large walls of text.. there's probably a lot left to argue about. Who knows it may stop the subject spewing over into other topics as much... and people who may want to talk about this subject for some reason…
I didn't say it was fine, because it's not. I said it was inevitable and laws aren't able stop it. All existing infringement deterrence measures have only solidified people's desire to resist compliance. If you treat someone like a criminal long enough, they just say "To hell with it. I'll be a criminal". I'm not saying…
Well, I can't speak from personal experience that I can recall, but Assassin's Creed 2 had some pretty game breaking DRM on it that the hackers cracked and made a better piece of software of it. Who wants to play a game that stops and loses your progress just because your internet service had a hiccup? Oh, here's an…
This is simply an incorrect statement, if you can stop people from copying a file, that doesn't mean you no longer need copyright law. Copyright law is still absolutely essential to prevent some 3rd party from creating, from scratch, a copy of your work, product etc. This is less applicable to unique works of art as it is…

I can see how you feel that way, but I'm trying look at the reality of the situation. It's low risk, easy, and has a high payoff. It's a no-brainer why people do this. It happens.…
Well, I was over-reaching in my previous statement. What I was meaning to imply was that you'd have no need of copyright to protect your works from those that lack the means to produce a competing work of their own. You're right, the need to prevent copyright plagiarism still remains. If nothing else, I will never condone…
I'm gonna do my last post in this thread because it's a topic that will never we will never be done discussing. I just want to add to Blaizer that sometimes the creators needs to see it from the consumers view too, and the legal consumer are the people who pays for the studio's efforts in stopping piracy with stupid DRM…
To talk about piracy and copyright is a huge stupidity and a huge waste of time, so i won't add much. As far as i know, Pirates will not understand the creator's position until they become a creator. So, to talk to a fucking pirate is like to break our heads on a wall, or worse, it's like to discuss with a monkey. Creators…
