kb: His problem is that he doesn't just assume things without checking, Dubbie also constantly projects everything that is being discussed on himself, his own environment and irrelevant shit that was a hot topic 6 or perhaps even more years ago ;)

/out

oh no wait, i believe the latest wolfenstein game i played was supplied by razor. good times, i wrote.

damn, I lost some hours of useful coding time with that funny thread :D

superplek: and Quake 1 too!

damn how could I fail to turn this into a complete flame and trollwar. I must be getting old and loosing the edge. fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu-

The judges call it: 100-90, Punqtured.
The winner by awesome youtube linking: Punqtured!

Remember: not every game downloaded is à missed sale in à store ;) btw this thread needs to be nominated for best thread of 2011 in NeXT years pouet awards ;)

I'm not in the warez scene, but I think there are some fundamental misunderstandings going on here. So, for kb and plek and the others who think this is OMGLOLHYPOCRISY:

"Stealing" as in spreading others' work without permission has never been considered wrong in the warez scene. Sure, it might piss some people off, but it's never been considered lame in general.

"Stealing" as in taking other people's work, modifying it, and relabeling it as your own/distributing it without proper credits on the other hand, has always been considered lame. Especially if done for profit.

In Sweden we separate copyright law into intellectual rights and distribution rights. The first case is and example of a violation of the latter, and the second case is an example of a violation of the former. These two crimes are morally incommensurable.

s/is and/is an/

Now how many times do I have to, explicitly, state that I am without my own opinion on this matter in order NOT to be pulled to one of the "sides"? :)

Sigh, assumptions assumptions assumptions. You'd all be great programmers.

thats were you picked sides

Laughing is picking sides? What happens if the other side makes a joke and he laughs, does he switch sides?

And yeah, complaining about somebody warezing a warez group logo is all kinds of funny.

can you define warez then pls, seems to be some missconception here.

can we move on now instead?

thank you everybody, this was all great: nice drama queens, nice attention whoring attempts, nice trollings etc; see you!

This thread is in need of MOAR ORANGE BPS LOGO.

I see that psonice already said what I wanted to. Once again you are trapped within the magic spell of premature assumptions.

Please, do everyone a twofold of favors:
A) Stop drinking *and* posting at night, it dillutes your posts and, more importantly, the point you want to make and takes your spelling down another notch. Takes one to know one, sure, but the art is to one day learn the art of regulating yourself. Now if you were sober I guess it's time to really worry, but let us go for the simplest explanation first (Occam's razor).
B) Look up what 'assumption' means and check out how many times you, and not just you by the way, assume things based on either nothing at all or things that wouldn't really hold up in court to say the least.

Over and out!

And of course this special message was for Dubmood, who is probably just a frustrated sweetheart these days.

dubmood: I'm using 'warez' in a very loose sense there, as in taking somebody else's work and releasing it as your own. It's what the warez groups do, it's what roy did.

Charging for it makes it lamer than normal. Maybe doing it to your 'friends' as well as big companies is just being a bit more honest than the rest of that scene.

fuck kb for calling alien a thief!

Are you really suggesting that I should take pouet-trolling serious all of a sudden? :-s

psonice: whut? warezgroups remove game-credits and say they did the game? uh? whaaa? really? oh fuck I didnt know, thats horrible!

dubmood:

4kum4: Fuck yourself. Throughly and painfully. Because I didn't. Not with a single word. Read plek's post about assumptions again. No wait, LEARN TO FUCKING READ. Really.

or was your comment offtopic?

Reading skill seems to be a major hurdle here :) Or sense of context for that matter.

PS: do you think dubmood is a thief? do you think ppl involved in cracktromaking etc. are thieves?
