how can you be for the one and not for the OTHER? Seems to me if you benefit from the original theft than that also makes you an accessorie to a crime. Just like buying stolen goods in the parking lot at *
CENSORED*. Just because you didn't actually STEAL the goods in the first place...DOESN'T make you "less guilty".
If the people who stole from warehouses to distribute hot merchandise had no "market" (i.e., "you" to buy from them) then they wouldn't do it as it wouldn't be profitable for them to do so.
Unfortunately the "
motivations" behind "stealing" a movie to release it FIRST on the internet aren't motivated by things as simply at monetary gain. Its still "wrong" but we as p2p pirates support these actions....
why?
