    Pretty sure it's against forum rules to post links to illegal stuff, regardless of whether it's illegal in china or not.

    Yeah, I couldn't find anything on music downloads with a quick google search, though I did find an [URL="http://cquirke.mvps.org/pwdssuck.htm"]article[/URL] making fun of how silly passwords can be.


    Edit:
    I found this, too, making fun of the movie industry: [url]http://steveblank.com/2012/01/04/why-the-movie-industry-cant-innovate-and-the-result-is-sopa/[/url]

Well, it's a new one for this thread, I'll give you that, though I'm not sure it's any better than the other lame justifications nor how you think that is going to dissuade people from criticising you.
    I truly don't care what you think. I also torrent codex so i have a some sort of clue as to what people are on about rather than pay 20 a pop my sins are numerous what can i say.

I find the fact that there are people trying to justify piracy in any way shape or form rather amusing (whilst viewing it as alarming example of the decline of the moral fabric of society). Anyway, I thought Gendoikari was quitting this thread?
    no, it's a sign that your too thick headed to be reasoned with so, i opt to piss you off instead, which BTW you still haven't gotten the point if your talking about "justifying piracy" the point is not to justify it at all.

    Doesn't everyone do this for the codexes they don't play with?

    BTW in case you haven't gotten the point yet, the point is this: these guys exists, they are 100% LEGAL and some people who are tired of GW's prices are going to use them. Right or wrong, destructive to the industry or not, that is the reality.

    Yes they exist but they are NOT 1005 Legal They are 110% ILLEGAL and you can justify using them and be a criminal all you want but you and I both know it is ILLEGAL. Yes they exist and some people will use them because they do not care. That still does not make them LEGAL

    EDIT: you know what I'm done I've got better things to do than try to educate a bigot with a piss poor education.

    He might not have the best grasp on what's going on in China, but I'm not exactly certain that quite qualifies him as a bigot. China doesn't exactly have the best reputation in a lot of areas, and its government deserves a lot of that reputation.

    I'm also pretty sure openly insulting other posters is against forum rules as well. Flagged.

    They're legal to produce in china, and it's legal to buy from china, so please if there is some importation law that I'm missing fill me in.

    Pirated goods are seized on arrival into the country usually. The only reaosn these might get through is because customs don't know what they're looking for.

    It is ILLEGAL to purchase pirated goods in the UK

    I can only assume there is similar rules for the States and other places....I'll have a look and see what I can find

    UPDATE - ACTA (Anti Counterfeiting Trade Agreement) Signed by the US. Makes all counterfeit goods, the sale of, the distribution of and the import of ILLEGAL. The government seems to go after the buyers, cos they can't get the sellers cos of the Chinese governemts attitude to it
