We aint twisting it at all lol We all know what piracy is Just what we do is not as serious as what u do And u cannot deny that

Fine ill only buy games i like hows that? I use piracy as a personal review system Where as you use it as your only means of getting games by the looks of it

@sawell excellant flash skills as usual keep up the good work

Piracy
n. pl. Piracies

1- Robbery committed at sea.
2 -A similar act of robbery, as the hijacking of an airplane.
3 - The unauthorized use or reproduction of copyrighted or patented material: software piracy.

Correct, and count the fact i've payed for a LOT more time in paymir than i have playing a private server, and you realise your argument against me is flawed.

Stealing their files? I think you should hit the history books...

As for the attempted lawsuit, LMFAO. To which 'attempt' are we looking at today? :D

Lol, Nick the files were put on a public ftp, so you cant say that we stole the files as it was Gn's fault for putting them there in the first place.

Holy, you are right when you say piracy is a huge problem. But you are wrong when you try to gloss over the fact that, you are damaging the gaming industry yourself by playing mir p servers. You don't play anymore? You played for alot longer than it took for me to download Doom 3 im sure. What im getting at is, i am aware im in the wrong to an extent, but you are in no position to preach. Neither is Auron. Neither is Xingy.
That depends on how long it took you to download it ;) But seriously, that's probably true, however, I'm not trying to "gloss over" anything. I've whole-heartedly admitted that I've pirated (look Ma! past-tense again!) games and I've aknowledged that it's wrong. What more do you want? The comments that were made initially were done so because you had blantantly condoned the illegal download of Doom 3 as well as letting eveyone know where they could follow suit. Not only does this show that you don't care about the games you play but that you don't care that it puts other people out of a job.

Public FTP, yes, but the keyword you missed out there was 'mistake'. If i left the keys in my car an someone drove off in it, i would not shrug my shoulders an think "my fault realy ^^" i could still take legal action.

Auron, my argument against you is not flawed, and the fact that you say this just shows you realy dont understand what my argument is. You are a hypocrit. And as for the law suit, have to admit- i realy dont know the background to that (as i stated) but i know there was some fuss about it (hell, theres even a p server disclaimer thread going on in server help atm).

Anyway, this has gone on long enough and im fighting a losing battle, u are all failing to see my point and its getting ugly.

lmfao @ sawell, i had to laugh at that tbh

If I'm correct, the point of this argument is that you are emphasizing the download of an illegal file over a file sharing network. The good people of this forum are simply pointing out how stupid and obnoxious you are by stealing from the game industry, making game developers jobless, and performing an illegal action.

the private server files for Mir and other games we have were origonally used, and by the admins and mods of this forum, still are, for educational purposesly only. this is why WEMADE has not been able to file a lawsuit against LOMCN or RageZone thus far.

by posting this thread, you have clearly stated that you dont care about the game developers, you dont care about the companies that they are employed to, you dont care about the law, and you obviously dont care about a word called profit.

and dont even reply saying that "Oh, hey man.. your like.. uh.. wrong yeah. I, uh, like.. yeah downloaded, uh, Doom 3 for.. uh.. educational purposes, yeah that sounds about right, yeah!" Because you clearly expressed earlier that this isnt the case.

Emphasizing the download of an illegal file. FFS! How. Please explain to me, how, you can use that in an argument against me. I wonder how many links to "illegal" files I can files I could find on LOMCN if I were pathetic enough to search.

The files are for educational purposes. When, and where, with quotes please, did I state that the use of these files was for anything other than educational purpose. They can be used to make pretty little GIFs files of Woomataurus's if you like m8y, the actual fact that we use them is piracy. Ya know? The basis of this debate?

By posting this thread, I have stated I dont care about small time game developers, the companies, I dont care about the law and I dont care about profit. I would bet my life the person who originaly posted a link to the 1.4 server files was not frowned upon. An you can call it what you like, as you obviously have not taken into account how much Game Network has to pay out in server liscense fee's, royalties to actualy host a legal server etc.

It's absolutely pathetic the way you can call downloading Doom3 "stealing from game developers" but hosting/playing private servers with WEMADE's files- "educational purposes". The 2 are the same thing.

And I wouldn't reply with such a stupid, fake response as I can identify piracy when I see it happening. Hell, i'm one of the main culprits for it remember?

Yes, playing & hosting private servers is illegal. However, that is not STEALING. STEALING is the act of taking something unlawfully.

Code:
stealing
     n 1: the act of taking something from someone unlawfully; "the
          thieving is awful at Kennedy International" [syn: larceny,
           theft, thievery, thieving]
     2: avoiding detection by moving carefully [syn: stealth]
