Before you post about how stupid this person is, ask yourself if you've EVER downloaded anything illegally off of the internet before by any means. If you have, you have very little right to give this person a hard time. IMHO, the only difference between you and him is that he got caught and you didn't.

actually the difference for me is far greater.
for the things that i have downloaded, I accept the responsibility and consequences of my actions which means that if I was served with a summons, I wouldn't be complaining about how I couldn't afford to pay the consequences, I'd be accepting of my role in the scheme of things. I don't speed without accepting the fact I could get a ticket and pay extra for the fines, points on my license, and extra for my insurance. |
Exactly. I've downloaded my share of data, but I don't try to make excuses. I don't say that I didn't know it wasn't illegal (it's been on the nightly news and in the newspapers! come on!) or that the *AA is going overboard by enforcing the law.
To me, it sounds like X_7 is doing his best to not assume responsibility for his actions.
