Damn!

I might have to have a closer look at Firefox after all, huh?

That is, if you support tools aiding thievery.

That is, if you support being a thief.
From what I can tell, the extension was being offered for free.

"Tipped by TK Junk Mail"

One could assume promoting it for news, would be advocating it. Most of wouldn't have heard about it if you did not tip the story to Karl.

And again, you support the masses with your tip to Karl. (It's alright to smack yourself in the forehead. No one here will see you do it.)

The only people who would use this are people who know to go to TPB anyway. So now it just saves them a step. Despicable? Definitely. But it won't affect a large number of people.

Surely you are not that stupid. Getting content from the PIRATE Bay instead of Amazonor some other LEGITIMATE source is in fact thievery.

what i meant was that it does what it is designed to do quite well. it has nothing to do with whether or not someone supports or does not support "thievery".

Firefox extensions in general are awesome. It's one of the main reasons I keep using it.

As for this one, it is a pretty creative one....

Those are already TPB users, so it's not like they were going to buy from Amazon anyway.

Firefox does not control who writes extensions, and for what purpose.

And using your reasoning, an ISP that offers a usenet server is "aiding thievery" as well.... as a matter of fact one could argue that a ISP that is even allowing access to thepiratebay.org is "aiding thievery".

Accusing people that use Firefox that they "support tools aiding thievery" is pretty silly. :P

He was referring to the Firefox extension, not Firefox itself.
