Re: IRC trading

You can't have your cake and eat it to. The fact that it's easier to get away with stealing doesn't make it right... no matter how much you try to rationalize it; furthermore, most developers (music, software, whatever) do not download copyrighted objects from the net... perhaps because they have a little bit more respect for creative rights.

IMO it's because people like getting stuff for free and they don't view downloading files as "stealing". Because you aren't physically taking something from someone and they still have a copy of it. Right or wrong there will always be many people who think that way. Plus you have to take into account that a majority of the stuff being downloaded the people would have never bought anyway. I do buy some movies and games, but I'm not going to say I don't download anything, because theres some stuff I wouldn't buy otherwise.

Of course some people will say that's not right, but if I still buy the stuff I normally pay for I don't see the problem.
